I've got quite a few TV programs that have been recorded on several VHS tapes which I'd like to keep. These tapes also contain a lot of rubbish that I don't need.
Using my TRV33, I'm able to record what I want onto MiniDV Tape, and from there, transfer it onto my PC for editing and then outputing back onto DVD.
Whilst this works fine, I was wondering if there was any way I could use the TRV33 as just a 'pass through' device, so that I record directly from the VHS Video, straight onto my PC.
I've got Pinacle Studio 9 and Movie Maker, but whenever I try using these, they want to take control of my camcorder and insist on activating the play button, which, of course, only records what happens to be on the camcorder tape.
Does anyone know if what I'm after is possible, am I missing something obvious, or do I just stick with the way I'm doing it at the moment?
Thanks.
