Question on making a CD from a VHS...
Never having before played with music, etc., on a computer, I'm womndering if anyone hasd done this sort of thing before... I'm looking to take the music from a VHS tape and produce a CD for my wife for Christmas. Also, making a DVD of the VHS would be handy too. The issue here is that the VHS player isn't going to last forever, nor is the tape, and the DVD isn't available (nor is the soundtrack). Any suggestions for doing this? Steve

Hook the RCA stereo outputs up to the line in jack on your sound card (or motherboard). You'll need a male stereo RCA to male stereo mini (1/8" I think) adapter (can get from Radio Shack, etc). Then set up to record from line in. Someone can help you with the SW from there--shouldn't be too hard. Once you get it on your HDD you can do whatever with it: burn to CD, make a MP3/Ogg Vorbis compressed version, etc. BR

It is the software / system I'm looking for information on., specifically on Linux... Also, making a copy on DVD so when the tape finally dies, I have a nackup...
