Hi Mark, my mac book pro doesn't have a dvd drive. Could you post the link to the software??
Try that: www.noterepeat.com/products/ion/vcrs-and-video-conversion/546-ion-audio-video-2-pc-mkii-ez-cap-installation-and-setup-guide
Thanks for the quick response! It seems the page was removed :( anyone have any other suggestions??
Dang sorry mate. Mobile now but will look when I get back to a computer. Ion to PC ezcap software, google that.
Mark Holtze, in Germany it is also allowed to copy movies if you do it for private, but not in you break something like DRM or anticopy.
Wow a video that explained everything simply and to the point, no 10 minutes of BS.
Unlike your videos
Exactly what I was going to say, except hilarious too!! What wonderful memories!!
it costs money
Thank you,, really simple to understand 👍
Straight to the point and that's what we need.
Wow you do not know how much this have helped. Im from Haiti, I escape the earthquake in 2010 and lost almost everything. My mom was a photographer and videographer and she brought all the VHS tapes of our lives with her here in the US and just had them sitting there in the drawer collecting dust. We watch them on christmas but thats it. Now I can watch them and show my friends Haiti before all the earthquakes and my life as kid 😁😁😁😁
That’s incredible! Sharing that will be quite the experience! Best of luck with it!
Thanks for this man, been wanting to get a VHS camera to mess around with and this is simpler than I thought it'd be!
Ya it's super easy, once you get the hang of whatever capture software that comes with it. I did a whole "vlogging with a 20 year old camera" to really test out the camera and the software. Been using it almost all the time ever since going through all of our old stuff. It's great and a nice way to modernize these old memories. Thanks for watching. EDIT: Shooting with VHS is dope, I have to say as a creative authenticity that's totally coming back in style ;)
Nice channel content by the way.
God... such nostalgia! I am 25 and my dad used to tape me and our family in the past. I still remember the sound the adapter is making, when you put the cassette. today's technology may be easier and so on, but they do not have the same charm like the technology before. much of it was built to stay for a long time.
Totally agree!
I have been a teacher att highschool in Sweden for decades and have just recently retired. I have tons of this stuff and it´s all on high 8.
Sony Camcorder and high 8 whas state of the art at that time. The camera kept on running, in the 80:s and 90:s and so i have memories of my children, parents etc, but all the tapes have been just laying there.
But now i can digitize the tapes and show them for family and friends!
What is great padagogy?
It´s a person with a great knowledge about a subject and who also has the will and capacity to make complicated things easy for other to understand.
And man u really want to teach us something here. "High five" U made it :)
Hi Peder, what a great message to find here thank you so much! I honestly feel pretty strongly about this as well as everything I talk about on my channel. It comes from a place of both experience (been working as a professional filmmaker for damn, 16 years now?) but also from a place of authenticity. I really do feel like sharing these old videos with people who haven't seen them really is something special.
It's not something I started to appreciate until I got older, but since kind of discovering it I felt it was an important element to share with anyone out there who may feel the same but doesn't have the knowledge or understanding how to do it.
Anyway thanks so much again, your comment made my day for sure! Wish you the best in your retirement. You can use some of that time to find some select moments on these tapes and share them with those who'd love to see them.
Best mate!

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU EARN ???😍😍😍 YOU MUST BE RICH
Always store tapes horizontally otherwise they will get an oval sag and playback will suffer.
Thank you, this video is so helpful. Simple and quick. Loved the old stuff you showed too
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing how goofy the tapes looked when you captured the moment but 20,30,40 years later, they seemed priceless. Thanks for the vid.
Totally agree. My pleasure
Awww, that last day of Hugh school snippet is so beautiful and fills me with nostalgia - which might be weird as I can't remember having been there with you. :D
Thanks for this video, just ordered one of those adapters to revive some childhood vacation videos that seem like from a different world...
now I wanna watch your last day in high-school
I REALLY want to cut it lol. Maybe I should. Thanks for the inspiration push my friend!

This is an awesome tutorial, straight and to the point! 👍
I'm not gonna lie 0:40 had me cracking up. Thanks for uploading, very helpful!
😝:)
This was great. Just what I needed to learn how to do this.
Awesome tutorial. "Like federally bad" haha that made me lol. Makes me want to dig up my Dad's old VHS camcorder!
+Colin Ross thanks Colin! You should totally do it. Use it as a D cam or just bring up old memories to laugh, cry or cringe at ;)
the best of times
I won’t tell if you don’t!
Colin Ross I did!!😊
Very informative. I also liked watching your older clips.
Thanks Drew! It's so much fun to be able to capture and share this stuff with family and friends. People's reaction to seeing footage not seen in decades is pretty incredible and worth the effort IMHO. Thanks for the comment!
Excellent - simple, direct, understandable, most informative! Thanks! Tucker
Mark! Awesome!!!! Goodness some of the old posts have older more expensive and complicated ways to convert. This is most appreciated!!
Hi Heather! Happy to help. Thanks so much for watching.
I am not tech savvy..but your tutorial is truly awesome..even I can do it..save precious memories.. And money! So empowering! Thanks dude!
My pleasure. It’s pretty straight forward once you get into it, but if you do have any further questions, happy to help.
Mark Holtze ...bless!
If I can find my old home videos, i am so doing this. Thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure! Good luck!
those high school footages...its so so sooo precious
Soooo glad this popped up on my feed!! I was given my dads old Sony Hi8 and was going to use it as a secondary (maybe even primary now, we’ll see!) camera to record my content. I have a Mac and was needing a converter. You showed it right to me!!😄👍🏻
Amazing video. Thank you so much for the sentiment put into creating this.
My pleasure! Hope it helps! :)
It's all about nostalgia. Times were so much "better and easier" than now. Thanks for the clear and fast instructions. My dad and I are going to keep ourselves busy with putting all our memories onto the computer.
Edit: And LOL to your teacher drinking rum or whiskey or whatever that was.
That’s amazing, should be a great experience to do that with your dad.
Like watching that movie Mid 90s
How does VHS look on a large HD TV
@speedyboishan87 it looks fine; it’s SD remember so don’t expect HD level resolution ;)
Thank you for the most forward understanding and instruction for transferring from camcorder. I think it’s a trip down memory lane , and saying- oh yeah!! I remember that now!?!
THANK YOU! My parents have a lot of old home videos and too much hassle for them to dig them out and hook up a VCR and play them. I was looking into Legacy Box, and their prices are waaaaay too high. Especially now after seeing how this is done. You saved me bruh!
Omg this makes me want to cry bc I can finally save all my home videos!! My camcorder was starting to not work and I was scared to lose everything! Thank you so much for this video!
My pleasure! Helped me, I figured itnis would help a few long the way.
Thanks. I always wanted to do this with our home videos but didn't know how to get started. Thanks again for starting us off.
My pleasure, good luck with it!
I’m graduating and I wanted to make a slide show of my baby videos at my graduation party - this was very helpful!
love the intro!
You'll get better video quality if you use the S-Video port instead of the yellow RCA cable. Also, some of those video capture devices will change the way the colors look, and or save the footage in a lossy format.
Just what I needed. Will order the adapter
Digging thru old home movies now, thanks for this...
Very useful thank you and guess what ?when i am tryng to stop the video and i accidentally push the subscribe button that appears in the middle of the video. brilliant ! greetings from Japan .
Same here! In different creative platforms. Also my nationality is from Japan.
Useful. I’m ready to record some spongebob and other vhs tapes
Thank you sooooo much I have waited nearly a year for a video like this (I'm subbing)
BTW your editing skills are great! Awesome info, idk why I thought this was so difficult to do.
there may be a slight exception in relation to copy copyright content. At least here in England you can make a safe copy of copyrighted items provided you own the original and that is just for security/preservation reasons. There are VHS films that are not available in digital form, I am talking about rare items like for example 'Breakdance Sensation' which VHS original tape comes at 100 dollars on Ebay. In that case I would feel more safe if I had a digital copy on my mac in case the original VHS would loose too much quality or would be damaged accidentally.
Absolutely, I definitely didn’t want to get into in this video, it was more just that FBI warning I remember at the beginning of every movie :). There is nothing preventing the transfer, just can’t distribute it in any commercial way as far i remember.
Unauthorized duplication (to sell on the black market). I wanted digital copies of the ya altered Star Wars films where Darth’s Light saver is still a shade of red and not a pink tone from too much remastering :)
Thanks for the comment, I think you have the longest name on RUclips! I dig!
Ahahaah yeah thanks :) we Italian have the tendency of placing long names after our channels LOL :) PS also one of the longest videos, I made an episode lasting 9hrs and 43mins (in Italian...)
9 hours! That rivals the rough cut of appocalpyse now !! Lol brilliant, jus checked it out and subbed. Need to brush up on my Italian. I won’t start with the 9 hour one! ;)
ahahah gee I understand LOL :)
The Man In Red - Funk, Soul, Boogie e Hip Hop Square Dance callers are allowed to digitize records into mp3 and us it in that format only IF they keep the original record. (I know, honor system.)
I've been looking into several options Elgato or diamond video capture I've also considering just dumping everything to DVD and then ripping it. The only thing I get confused on is the installation of the software and how to set up codec and compression and video speed and all that good stuff
H.264 codec is most efficient with quality and space. Medium settings is fine for the most part.
Thank you so much for such short and clear instructions.....will need to get an adapter and replacement RCA cable and then I am definitely going to give it a go even though I am 68 with zero technology knowledge. You can rest assure I will be revisiting your video.
Best of luck with it Patricia
Thank you for this video! exactly what i needed
Thank you for this! I have some old home videos of my mothers who recently passed. I really want to have them for my father and my future family.
Hi Audrey, I'm sorry to hear about your Mother. Condolences. This kind of thing will go a LONG way believe me. It's pretty magical what seeing these old memories can do for the soul.
Question for you: I set everything up, press record, finish the recording, and try to open it on the computer and get an error that the video is not compatible. I was able to get it work in the past and i can’t for the life of me figure out why it’s not working now!
What file format did you set it up as do you know? You can change the codec. I would suggest using mpeg 4 or H.264 if possible.
Thank u for being right to the point! This saves a lot of time. I need to save those old home videos.
Yes you do, no time wasting here, if I extend some stuff it's usually for context, but ya...we don't have 14 mins to watch a simple video, I get that 100%.
Great tutorial video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
My pleasure mate! Hope it helps!
I got everything except for material on the VHS. I just wished I recorded more during those times.
But, you can also do Costco, Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart for transfer from 📼 to 📀.
Boomers: you young folks don't even know what a VHS is
Us "young folks":
Have you ever heard of Betamax, Boooomer? 😂 😂 😘
Boomer is a dead meme, but damn I hate boomers
I got two of the Easycap dongle capturecards and they work great too and I even used them for livestreaming.
Thank you! Just what I needed
How do you deinterlace the video on a mac. Your footage looks like it is still interlaced.
I usually run it through a deinterlace video filter in editing software. Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or avid. I think QuickTime can do it and might be able to do it by selecting de-interlace but not sure. Not at home this week so can’t check.
Silly question I know, but how do you load the recordings from the tape In the camcorder to the software?
You have to make the connection. Load up the program, set your record destination. Hit record on the software and play on the VCR and it will record. I have a part 2 of this video which outlines that process. Check the link in the description. Shows the process. Hope that helps
Mark, thanks for the mars bars and this helpful video
My pleasure Thomas. Just check OS compatibility with these adapters. Good luck!
So funny. The ending was heartfelt. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Dave! I'm always looking for places to drop in stuff I shot so long ago.
So could this be done with a VHS player as well? Not just a camcorder? I've got some old full size VHS I want to save digitally.
Hi Lindsey, yes a VHS player works just the same. :)
Hey Mark! Any thoughts on whether it's better to play back (record) the video through the actual camcorder or through a VHS player using VHS cassette adaptor - from a quality standpoint?
I would go through the VCR personally if you can. Dedicated player vs a player/recorder (camera) but it won’t have an impact on quality directly. VCR might have cleaner play heads and better “tracking” options. Ultimately whatever is easiest for you :)

awesome video man so clean and easy to watch :D
Thanks mate. :D
Thank you so much man, one question I only have a yellow and black cord, will it still work with the adapter ? The black cord is the audio
Yes it will. You can plug it into either the white or red input and you will have audio. Mono single channel but that’s all the camera has so shouldn’t be a problem.
So the things in the description, all I need is the converter ?
You need either a camera/VHS machine to play back the video. RCA cables to connect the camera/VCR to the adapter. The Adapter which converts the signal to USB and the software (that comes with the adapter) to translate the signal into something that you can easily digitize.
I’m doing this in 2019. There are loads of reasons for this. I have an iPhone X and blackmagic camera but I’m currently shooting a horror movie on a mid 90s canon ex1 hi8 camera. Great fun. This will be the first time using digital editing on Analogue footage for years and I can’t wait
Did you ever finish the movie?
Thanks for sharing this video , I have a Sony video camera and I think what I do to convert the tape into a loptop signals . And I thanks to your video , now I have an idea to use it .
How do I install the software if there is no dvd port in my computer?
Support on the website I imagine you can DL the drivers and software. I’m still running this on an old system, but ya my new computer no drivr
Hey Mark, thanks for this very informative and well crafted video. I have a problem I was hoping you might be able to help me with.
No matter how hard I try I cant get rid of all the overlaid digital stamps my VHS c camcorder produces.
I have managed to turn off Date/Time, by changing the view mode to ‘Simple’ in the settings section which takes off the majority of the stamps, however, during playback Time elapsed, ‘TBC’ ad ‘SP’ remain visible destroying the aesthetic quality of my recordings. As far as I can tell no settings on my camera allow these stamps to be turned off, so I am wondering if there is anyway outside of the camera that i could bypass these stamps? someone spoke online of using a VHS C adaptor. Is this feasible?
Thanks in advance for your time
Hi Dripfeed, my pleasure. I’ve come to a point where I feel we shouldn’t leave these old formats dead in a closet. Too many important memories to share.
Sounds totally like it’s a camera issue. If you can change them on the fly like that then it must be. Given it’s just a digital overlay, the actual vhs-C tapes should be clean. That should make getting a VHS-C adapter the solution. I use a VHS-C adapter as the old signal from my camera doesn’t play well with the adapter. You can find them on amazon pretty easily. Just make sure it’s a prime seller and read reviews. Lots of cheap knock offs out there made specifically to fleece people.
Hope that helps! Good luck! Let me know if the problem persists and we’ll see what other options there are.
Mark Holtze thanks for the prompt response brother! I have invested in an Adaptor, will i also need a VHS player to then connect to my laptop? im not familiar with the outputs on the Adaptor
Anytime! Why I waste my time doing these videos is sharing info and the good vibes :)
Yes unfortunately now you will need a VHS player. The setup is pretty simple: VHS with rca composite cables (red, yellow, white). Cables plug into the VIDEo and AUDIO “OUT” on the vhs and the other end to the video and audio IN on the adapter.
Adapter has a USB cable that plugs into your computer. Install and load software and capture. I have a part 2 where I outline the record settings setup. But that’s a later step.
VHS decks: consignment stores, eBay, garage sales, parents basement? Seems that lots of people have VHS put away so ask around before going and buying one. I’ve sound the same with film projectors. People keep these things and forget they have them.
Good luck!
@@MarkHoltzeWhat's VHS like on larger HD TV's

Weird that, that was high school for you, everyone looks so much older, and they probably were seniors in that video, and I’m a senior now just typing this, I’m going to record my last day with my Sony handycam, hopefully I can do something like this.
Ya, in Ontario at the time we had GRADE 13 or (OAC) Ontario Academic Credit) which is what we would use to prep for University. So we're all 19 and 18 in this and yes this was last day of school before we all went away to Uni.

love this page. Keep putting more contents!
Thanks for the kind word my friend. :)
thanks man, this will save me space and money converting my rack of VHSs in my garage to digital files without having to buy DVD copies or something
thanks seeing your footage just made me want to do it even more!
!!!! (my secret intention behind this video) ;)
Hey Mark, Do you still recommend the same device in 2019-2020? Is this THE ONE or should I look for a newer-ish device? Thanks in advance
This one isn't supported anymore unfortunately. Plenty of replacements though. I should really order a new one and do a new review on it. Check the top link as that one seems to be the best reviewed and works for latest Windows/mac OS's.
You can check user reviews from there if you want.
it's too bad this one isn't supported anymore, I still use it on my old machine and it's just so easy.
@@MarkHoltze Getting one for cheap on eBay . . running MacOS Mojave . . any idea if I can get hold of the old software and run it?
@@niffumdam EZCAP won't run on Mojave unfortunately. They stopped supporting a few updates back. Kind of annoying, but other adapters that do the same thing have supported software.
Thanks alot ! I just found my dads old camera with tapes from the 90s and wasnt able to play them back. Thanks so much!!!
Cant wait to get into this
So... Is ten-year-old Mark going to be schooling me on manual-focus SMC Asahi Takumar/Pentax lenses sometime soon?
If not, then I give up on this channel...
(But not really, as I love my FD lineup of Canon glass.)
lol! i can go back in time and inception plant this idea into my 10 year old self ;)
Great video. But one important tip you left out is that not all video output from a camera is the same in terms of quality. So on the camera you had in the video it seemed to also support S-Video it Super Video, and the adaptor you bought also seemed to support it. And since S-Video tends to be better than RCA it makes sense to try and use that method of video capture whenever possible. But note you will usually have to buy a separate S-Video cable to connect the camera to the adaptor.
I kept it to the simplest common denominator, but you're right. S-VIDEO, i figured if one can understand the basics of this they might already know about S-VIDEO, I also don't have a cable to I didn't think it was that helpful to demo what I don't have.
Great points though Jack.
@@MarkHoltze I understand. Great video still..
I found this very useful thanks!
My pleasure. It's nice to put a modern spin on old "obsolete" technology. The one problem with digital these days is storage and backup. VHS tapes and Film reels if stored properly can last decades. It's just too bad the way to view these old formats is almost extinct.
Appreciate your assistance brother.
My pleasure Blair. I’m here if you have any questions.
SHIT I just realized I have that adapter somehow!
AMAZING! Go use it! :)
my HI-8 camera doesnt have an RCA output what HI-8 camcorder did you use?
It's the Sony Handycam, it has a S-VIDEO as well as RCA Composite outputs. Some have an RCA/Composite to MINI which on one end would be a mini jack (one metal prong) with the red, white and yellow on the other end.
What kind is yours?
My is a sharp VL-AH50 and it’s a pain in the ass it has no charger and it needs this special video/audio cord to hook it up to my DVD recorder
Just googled it! I remember seeing those around! I think it has the AV to mini jack...I THINK. I'll check the manual when I get to a computer (mobile)
Yeah I found the charger and AV to mini jack online if it works I’m gonna use my Panosonic DMR ES-15 DVD recorder to archive it onto blank DVD-R’s then put in my computer
Sweet! So much work for this legacy technology! It's nice to move forward, but leaves so much in the dark.
Thanks for reply Mark.Allen
honestly just what I needed
Happy to help mate! :)
was that a selfie I saw during 2:28??? In 1999???
Yes May 10th 1999 😂
The date on the last clip before the outtro, it was my birthday. Sadly I was born in 1998 not 1990.
That was the world 8 years before you arrived ;) didn’t miss much ;)
I was born in 1990 which is cool but I wish I had been born sooner too.
@@VictorianMetalGirl Why do you wish you were born sooner? I was born in 1980, it was pretty cool being a kid in the 80's, but the 90's weren't so bad either ;) What decade do you wish you were born in?
Definitely did inspire!
Thanks a lot Mark!!! Didn’t know those kind of adapters existed!!!
lol, this is an oldie, i've done an updated one and youtube kept telling me how badly it was performing, but like this one...after a few weeks it starts to take off.
There are better ones than this adaptor now, the Capture One specifically is what I upgraded to. Software on these might stop being supported (this one) so updated OS and kill support. The Capture One is self contained, captures it directly to SD or USB stick, de-interlaces it and gives you the most efficient settings so no software to deal with either. Just drag and drop, really has never been easier.
@@MarkHoltze if you can send me some links pls!
"Like, federally bad."
The fbi can't stop me!
I’m no 🐀 either mate ;) your secret is safe with me
You jocking? Video transfer with the yellow composite cable?
Even the S-Video is better?
Best is using fire wire or IEEE 1394 plug, 1:1 quality transfer, means no video quality lose.
IEEE is hard to find now days on new computers, everything is USB!
Fire wire is still fast , but the new USB3 , maybe 20% faster.
Not all cameras especially older VHSC cameras have Svideo. I couldn’t find mine sonjust used what I had coupled with the lowest common denominator. SVIDEO is best, IEEE unless your camera has it. Those are late 90’s and early 2000’s era.
@@MarkHoltze My 8mm Sony camera from 2000 has IEEE plug, transfered a few tapes to my PC, video came out beautiful. But without compression (MPG4 etc...), I ended up with 30 Gig file/tape. LOL!
Over 10 years ago, only writable blue ray disk can handle that size of files and they were expensive back than!
Back than I was nuts about keeping my family videos to the highest quality!
Another story if just copying an old movie for fun!
@@szaki I remember my first year film school where they were talking about IEEE (Firewire). Sept 1999, LOVED the idea of digital transfer both audio and video, input and OUTPUT ONE cable. Magic it was!
@@MarkHoltze Yes! I still have some 2x dozen 8 mm, VHS tapes, loaded with vacation, family videos from the 90's etc...
I'm gonna star digitizing them using IEEE. my older Lenovo laptop has the 1394 plug.
Lot of fun!
Looks like you're into video transfer, eh?
@Sannesthesia Long time ago done firewire transfer 8mm to PC, but needed a piece of software to download for windows to make things work.
Great intro - thanks Mark!
My pleasure Lori
Reminds me that I have a lot of transferring to do of old tapes. Thanks.
Thanks bro even in 2022 you're a legend had to fix it
Great tutorial.
1:02 The three cassettes seen here are Hi-8. The camera is a Hi-8 format, that can play back regular Video-8 tape but will only record to Hi-8 cassettes. VHS-C cassettes are slighltly shorter(not by much, though) but are deeper owing to the half-inch wide tape contained in them. A full-sized VHS tape dwarfs both types of cassette(though there is a cassette adaptor for VHS-C to play them in regular VHS machines).
Yes, but the process I’m showing is tape agnostic. This isn’t a what tape is this, it’s a tutorial to help show you HOW you can capture X tape format to your computer.
But nice for those who are wondering about what tapes are what :) thanks Neil!
@@MarkHoltze I've done this myself, using first a software from a company I cannot recall the name of, but then I discovered Cyberlink Power Director.....WOW! What I was able to do with my old tapes, I was amazed, then I learned about CLPV, WOW again! Converting old 4:3 into RUclips-friendly 16:9(though initially I was burning to DVD prior to 2016 when I launched my Trams & Trains RUclips channel).
Man I wish my family had this back in the day!
This is a very good idea and thank you for publishing this.
someday probably soon my camera will stop working and I won't have anything to play my tapes on.
I use high-density tapes but I don't believe that my camera is a hi-8 camera.
Great video and information. I used a VHS to DVD recorder years ago to transfer all of my VHS tapes to DVD.
It seems to have gotten a little tougher the farther we've moved away from this old media formats. I figured it was a good thing to showcase given how important it is for this old media to not be forgotten.
Thank you so much, btw your memories look awesome!
Wait until you see yours again for the first time ;)
i have hope again, the video recorder you seemed to be using in the video, almost looks Exactly the same like the Sony recorder i had back in the 90's early 2000's
gonna take a while before i uncovered my camera and old tapes under the heaps of boxes in the attic, but seeing you doing that on the exact same camera i used to have. gave me hope again that my old highschool and vacation video's might be salvageable again.
Great job
The sound from the old camera is pretty decent! Thanks for the video
I shot a “vlog” with the Sony just to give it a days test and was really happy with the results. Battery lasted all day, auto focus was really quick and sound was decent with just the standard mic. All in all a good experience. Thanks for the comment Luis.
Amazing. Watching your video, I would say that the audio from your old camera is better than the audio from modern point and shoot cameras. As you well say, in old times the hardest point was editing. Again, thank you for your video. It makes me want to go to my parents house and get the old tapes!
you TOTALLY should. There's a joke in my house, every time we go to my parents for dinner I vanish for a bit into the basement. I always come up with some relics from the past ready to take back home to my place. Old Nintendo systems, some old toys - the kicker though has been the camera stuff. Not only our old VHS stuff was down there, but my grand father's an great grandfather's 8mm film reels,cameras, and even a 1914 Kodak 1a (film camera). This thing is a work of art it's unbelievable. Anyway I guess my point is you'd be surprised what you find down there ;).
Happy hunting and even if it's just the VHS stuff, at least give it a watch. Those moments shouldn't be lost for good. :).
Take care Luis, hit me up if you have any questions.
Thanks for this! very helpful!
My pleasure Brian! All the best!
Got some tapes from my grandparents and a palmcorder, gonna use this
