I'd like to do something more simple than what the article is reporting or what Blender or other tools can do. All I need to do is to be able to take screen shots of a vhs recorded video tape that I can play back on a vcr.
What's the simplest way of getting the vhs clip, or just screen shots, from the vhs tape, to a digital format on my computer?
I have a video in video card available (V7100 deluxe, geforce2-mx) on one computer, I just picked up a Plextor TV402-U (before I became aware of their anti-community actions as outlined right here on Newsforge in the last few weeks). I believe with the card above I have sufficient ability to import the video clip (but how?), or at last resort use the plextor to capture video from the vcr.
Is there a standard way for users to pick up video from vhs tapes/vcr and transfer to their computer without getting involved in something like MythTV? tia.
