Transferring video from VHS tapes to DVDs
Note VHS tape is generally recorded at a lower quality than we
have come to expect in the age of digital video, and degrades over
time. Roxio Easy VHS to DVD will faithfully transfer your video
to DVD. The resulting video quality of the DVD will depend
entirely on the quality of the source material. Low quality VHS
video can not be converted to high quality video by transferring it
to a DVD disc.
To connect a VCR to your computer:
1 Connect the Roxio Video Capture USB device to a USB 2.0 port on
your computer. A USB extension cord is included, if needed.

2 Connect the Roxio adapter to the video capture device as shown in the
illustration below.
3 Using the RCA cable provided with your VCR, connect the video Line
Out connector on your VCR to one of the two video plugs on the
Roxio adapter. (The cable is not included with Easy VHS to DVD.)
Which connector should I use? Depending on the VCR, you’ll have a
choice of using either the Composite video connector (the yellow
plug) or the higher quality S-Video connector (the single, black plug).
Whenever possible, we recommend using S-Video.
