>Figured how to record from my TV to VHS as a kid
>Record my first gameplay of games and watch it when I'm bored
>Discovers how to add sounds/music/dialogues by using 2 VCRs to record the sounds from 1 VHS to another VHS.
>Archived most of the games on different systems on VHS as 8 hours speedruns and terrible jokes from MANY different games.
>Mom discovers my archive and destroyed it when I was in school
>This is what survived
I need help. I want to record all this stuff on a DVD and save it as a video file on my PC. I want to upload it to YouTube to get with the times. The VHS's are getting damaged and I need to do that fast before we lose an important event from history!
>>333626164
post the porno one
Like tears in the rain . . .
>>333626164
>Mom discovers my archive and destroyed it when I was in school
why?
>>333626483
I seriously don't remember why she did that. All I remember is how angry I was.
>>333626164
Did you inadvertently invent video let's plays?
>>333626483
Women
I'm going to bump this because I'd like to see what happens next.
>>333626318
It's not porno. I recorded Krystal's scenes and gameplay from Dinosaur's Planet and Assault. And recording the hot trophies in Smash Melee in different angles.
>>333626483
I don't know this guy's mom, but it may have been for wasting blank VHS tapes or even recording over good ones.
>>333626164
This is true love for vidya. Thanks anon for making this place slightly more bearable.
>>333626164
quick google: http://www.real.com/resources/how-to-convert-family-videos-on-vhs-to-dvd/
>>333626720
If someone tells me the way of importing these to my PC, I'll upload them to YouTube so all can see. I'll post the links on /v/
>>333626483
Women are fucking stupid
At least when I pull apart somebody's old HDD, I copy over their data to backup before formatting it
>>333626164
Hook your VCR to the tv.
Hook the "out" from the TV to your dvd
Play the VCR, record the DVD
>>333627360
I'll do that. Thanks! Which one should I record and upload first?
>>333627560
PS2 games
>>333627560
"special"
>>333627158
You can buy a cable that connects to the video output to your PC. They usually come with some sort of recording software and only cost a couple of bucks
>>333627560
upload the "special" one to pornhub
>>333627158
Something like a Dazzle DVC 100 would work. If there is a cheaper alternative than go for that, I remember years ago those things used to be the cheap option.
>>333626164
>>333626164
Oh man I used to do the same thing.
I remember recording PS2 gameplay footage, but using sound from a PS1 to play CDs or music from other games.
I remember recording myself doing the Mitsunari boss fights on the highest difficulty in Shinobi set to this shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6FyvK4DO6U
Or the Songi boss fights in Legend of Legaia set to When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000
bump for interest
>>333627274
>Women are fucking stupid
This. Not vidya, but my mom put all my warhammer in the bin a few years ago. Apparently I was too old for models (16 at the time).
>>333629124
You still have the tapes?
>>333627560
link to youtube channel so after this thread dies we can still see "Special" pls
Just record the screen with your phone, no one's gonna care about VHS quality videos in native res.
>>333629554
Nah, they were lost a long time ago. Had them in storage and my mom didn't pay it so everything got fucking taken. Lost so many PS1 games and even a shrink wrapped copy of Shantae for GBC that I never got to play
>>333626834
Hahahahaha fucking haha. I'm fucking dying man haha fuck I'm sitting at my desk at work and I can't stop fucking laughing at the innocence of that shit, and then even more at the fact that you even went and labeled it "special" hahahahaha
>>333629712
This, get a tripod and a videocamera and just film the screen. It will all look awful anyways so not a big issue.
>>333626318
ITT: the innocence and genuine love and excitement for video games of youth
>>333626834
Well upload it nigger
>>333629919
I tried. The problem is the sound is way too awful.
did a similar thing co-op on halo, lets plays before they existed.
you need to rip the VHS and it probably requires some hardware, ask /g/ imo. don't mention its /v/ related though.
get a rca capture card, you can find them pretty cheap
(assuming your vcr is rca in/out)
hit record & play the vhs
>>333626834
>And recording the hot trophies in Smash Melee in different angles
Post it
Link to YouTube channel so I can monitor that instead of this thread.
I'm very interested
>>333630173
If you have an okay computer you can just record to a raw digital video file using something like this: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB3HDCAP-Video-Capture-Device/dp/B00PC5HUA6
You use the VHS video output cables, if you're lucky you have s Video, but composite will work too. Connect those to the breakout set that comes with the capture device like this and then, bam, decently recorded video.
You can even record shit from games or stream them live using something like this.
>>333629531
How much in figures did you lose? The cost is the one thing that's kept me out of Warhammer.
>>333626834
>from Dinosaur Planet
>Dinosaur Planet
You got your hands on an unreleased game?
you may well have a photo store in the area that offers vhs to digital transfer service. it's a pretty popular service
>>333630470
It'll take time to get the perfect equipment and record everything and upload it to YouTube. I say wait a month or so. https://www.youtube.com/user/skysands2008
Please find a way to post these. I used to do this shit all the time, especially with online matches of halo 2 with my friends.
If I had been smart enough to think of it, I should have recorded the first time I played a game.
>>333630780
But then they would know just how "special" he is
>>333630517
>Unreleased game
It's the one on Gamecube famiibo.
>>333630978
Dinosaur Planet became Star Fox fampai
>>333631226
Yeah.
>>333631670
You're a funny one, fammy pack.
