If I use this cable, my laptop, and screen recording software, can I transfer old analog video to digital files?

I bought this cable to try to import video from a camcorder to a stand alone DVD player,I don't know if it will work for what you want to use it for.Sometime I call a place that repairs computers and ask them questions,hope this helps.

It is not a standard cable. I bought it for the same purpose and did not work.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

The three analog cables are the worst transfer possible! If you do it that way ... you don't need HD camera! That is a total waste of quality!

it is important whether your footage is HD or not. A HD cam can transfer a not HD footage to your computer, but an not HD cam cannot transfer a HD footage. You will also need a cable IEEE 1394 with adapter to computer on the other side, and of course, a video editing program. If you have Mac, it comes with a free one that is easy to operate for nonprofessionals, I'm not sure about PC.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

No, According to what I found out the HDMI output from the laptop is digital and VGA is analog. Need a converter.

Yes, you can. I used this cable to capture media from a JVC to my MacBook Pro.

If you are trying to send video from the laptop to the TV, I don't think so. The old TV requires the video be sent on a "channel". This will not make the video on a channel. I use mine to send video from an old VCR to a HDMI input of a HDTV.

Yes you can, as long as the software your using has the capability. I am currently using Adobe, but I know the Pinnacle Studio software has the capability as well, so I can make a good assumption that other popular software applications can as well. The real question is why would you wish to? If your trying to save to digital tape, be warned that just like VHS, tape deteriorates rather rapidly. After digitizing the data to your computer, I would recommend writing to a DVD, saving it to YouTube, or some other form where storage will not degrade the original work. Hope this helps though.

You need an analog audio/video interface to a PC/Mac such as these: http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_8?fst=as%3Aoff&rh;=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A1266092011%2Ck%3APC+interface+for+a+vcr&keywords;=PC+interface+for+a+vcr&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1424548087&rnid;=493964

No, this only converts analog to digital. There is a digital to analog version that should work though.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I used Elgato Video to convert movies from VHS to .mp4 files then move them to an external HD.

This would help in what you're asking as long as your computer has a digital output and you need to convert it to the analog inputs on your tape deck.

If the computer has an RCA input (yellow/red/white), then you could. Another way to do it would be to get a D-VHS player ( JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder ), connecting via HDMI to the computer, copying that way.

That's a tricky question as you are really talking about "Will my video card allow input cables from my camcorder?" The other option is whatever your camcorder records with (tape, disc, what have you) is there a way to transfer that data to the PC/MAC. Will it burn in HD? Yes absolutely. To a DVD? Not truly. You would need to have a blank BLURAY disc to get the real HD quality I think you might be looking for. The real trick is getting it off your camcorder. :) Hope this helps and if wanting some idea's try this string in Google "move video from camcorder to computer" without the quotes of course. :) Best of luck!

If you have the proper cables (sold separately). This is the software only to capture the video to your pc and burn it to DVD (DVD Burner also required!)

Since it is analog and not digital, you will need a converter to hook up to your computer to capture the video. I use the ION Video 2 PC Analog To Digital USB Video Converter for PC on my Mac. It is simple to use and does the job.
