Hi, I'm new here, regards to all.
We've got quite a lot of old VHS tapes which I'd like to transfer to a hard drive. Scouring t'internet I found a Guardian article which suggests that you can sometimes use a scart lead to transfer tapes to a PVR such as the Foxsat-HDR we have.
I've searched this forum and not seen any posts about such and not, so far, been successful myself. Has anyone ever done this? Or will I need to buy a VHS capture device myself? (I've seen the Honestech VHStoDVD 7.0 Deluxe in action and though it captures OK, its conversion routines look to be woefully slow compared to the latest ffmpeg which I can easily work on my own PC. £70 for a mere capture device seems a lot to fork out.)
Thanks in advance for any advice!
