[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1279252, member: 109222"] Hi. This only is the chipset used on your TV card. This solely didn't tell enough about the device itself. This around ten years old chip is build into TV Sticks, USB boxes, Laptops, even into Car HiFi systems... And it is used on PC Tuner cards as in your case, probably... There are BDA drivers available for this chip so in general it should work in MP 1 and 2. But if the drivers supports the analoge input needed for your VHS is nothing I can tell or promise you. This is such an outdated technology no one will put any effort in making this working with recent PC any more... Maybe it's time to transfer your VHS to HDD in a "modern" video format like MKV... This will save your old VHS from getting worse over time as all analoge Technics will get... Your VHS player also must be very old and at least the video heads are wearing over time so most likely the player also won't last for a much longer time period... I still have some Super 8 and double 8 films (lot older than VHS) captured on HDD, most of them are more than 70 years old. The "original" is no longer watchable but my digital graps are still as good as they were the day I grabbed them... There are companies that do the transfer for you all over the world, so there will be a solution next to your place, I'm sure. Or you can buy a not very expensive (10 to 30 bucks, have a look at eBay or Amazon) analoge capture card and transfer your VHS to HDD yourself. This will take it's time as you need to capture in "real time". A 30 minutes VHS last at least 30 minutes to be captured... But once you have your VHS transferred it's very easy to always use the most modern storing technologies (e.g, first store on DVD, then transfer it to USB stick and later transfer it into the cloud) without any further loss of quality. And you can have backups of your precious memories too, even give them away to family and friends without loosing them yourself... [/QUOTE]
