Transfer Your Old Videos (VHS, S-VHS, 8MM, Betamax, Hi8, BetaCam) from your VCR to Your Computer

Learn how to transfer your old videos (like VHS, S-VHS, 8MM, Betamax, Hi-8, BetaCam, etc.) from your VCR to your computer so that you can preserve and share your family history memories. Save those videos from the past holidays, share them on social media, or give them as holiday gifts this year.

Transferring your home videos is easy and fun using the Elgato Video Capture cable and free software. I’ll show you how to use it all step by step. This video capture works to digitize video for Mac, PC or iPad using a USB 2.0 or higher port on your computer.
