Knightmare VHS Capturing
-
Cheers, will have to pick up a cable to run from my video to my tv card... Will post back with some results

Best of luck to you White Devil.
I suggest caution if you are succesful, don't announce too much when the disk is complete.
Apparently, these projects are for personal use only, fine in my book but don't get yourself caught in the trap of making copies for others. The copyright situation is a VERY sore point here. Incuring the the wrath of BVA or rudely antagonising Challenge? even more than they have already been is a bad idea.
God knows, I'm desperate to get a copy of old episodes etc myself but getting shunned by the community at large by going that route is not the game to play.
Drowning in a flood of posts demanding a copy of the disks wouldn't be fun either...

yah well aware but good to hear it from somebody else I dont think i would produce additional copies if requested anyway, DVD burning can be done at a max of 4x so it would take too long...

In otherwords he's saying you could start burning, go make a cup of tea, drink it, watch a whole series of KM, then make another cup of tea and then drink it, then maybe it might be finished. Okay maybe I'm exagerating a bit there but you get the point don't you .
-
maybe it'll be a "do-one-episode and check how it comes out" job... Dont want to burn a whole series then it comes out looking rubbish, it might just be the end of me
-
Might get a bundle of 25 DVD-R, will work out cheaper but they wont have cases...
-
Hmmm, why are you trying to do this? The issue with illegal trading etc. has become a serious issue now and I ask what you are trying to achieve with this.

Hi Joe Grocott-James ,
As i said back at the start of this thread and the other thread i started in general discussion,
i am NOT looking to sell these on ebay, i just want to keep/preservice/restore the versions ive got before my VHS copies run out
Any help would be appreciated

All I can suggest in making new tapes from the Challenge re-runs...

We havent got sky
Im so tempted to get it installed just for the re-runs of knightmare! For the past 6months I have been running a pc connected to our tv and getting excellent results:
Shuttle SN45G v2
XP2800 cpu at 2.0ghz
512meg pc3200 ddr
Radeon 9600 all in wonder
Audigy soundcard
Nicam video recorder
Telewest/eurobell tv
The pc is connected via rgb scart, the vcr is connected to the radeon via svhs!
It records everything I throw at it, at dvd resolution aswell! I did find the latest ati drivers are rubbish and cause serious issues so I experimented and found a sweet-spot set of old drivers!
Then I take the recorded video and edit it with Womble MPEG-VCR, removing adverts etc

I have captured all the TV series on to about 8 DVDs and are all pretty high quality!! I just haven't designed the menus yet..
The way that I done it was from a Video Recorder on to a DVD Recorder connected to the TV... This way might have been the longest way of doing it but it worked for me.
