Section 110 (1) of the Copyright Act of 1976 specifies that the following is permitted: The copyright owner specifies, at the time of purchase or rental, the circumstances in which a film or video may be "performed." For example, videocassettes from a video rental outlet usually bear a label that specifies "Home Use Only." However, whatever their labeling or licensing, use of these media is permitted in an educational institution so long as certain conditions are met. I got a call saying that the tapes were converting, and in 7 days, they were back at my door.Possession of a film or video does not confer the right to show the work. I shipped the tapes to their headquarters in LA and they arrived the next day. They did it for $9 per tape since I had a lot (29) of tapes. I shipped all my non copyright tapes to VHS Rescue (). So I did some googling, and found a company to do it. I compared the roxio software and something called elgato, and they both work in this very time consuming manner. Then it will take a very long time to encode. I learned that the tape has to play in real time which sucks because my tapes are like 2 hours. If any of the tapes are commercial, then you will probably run into problems with copy protection and not be able to make any copies.Įdited 1 time(s). Then use a computer to make additional copies if you want them. Personally, I would borrow a dvd recorder from someone, make the copy. Not to speak of the hard drive space for the files. For #2, the process takes longer because you have to play the tape, then the computer needs to convert the file, which can take take anywhere from 1/2 to 2x of time of the recording (depends on your computer) then the time to burn the disk. įor #1, the process runs in real time and takes as long as it takes to play the tape. Our sponsor sells an elgato video capture box. Then you need to use the computer and a program like disk utility or toast to burn dvd. Play the tapes, let the convertor box make it into a signal for the computer to save as a file. Or (2) get a convertor box as Catskills suggested and connect a VHS player to the inputs and connect the convertor box to a computer. Two basic ways to do it (1) buy a dvd recorder, either with a built-in VHS player or standalone dvd recorder (hook up a VHS player).
How many tapes do you have? Are you making multiple copies of each dvd (ie: family movies dvd to give to a lot of relatives)? How much time do you have to do this?
