Imagine being able to take detailed, marked-up notes as you watch and learn each segment. No more sticky tabs on your monitor. No more hunting for a pen and paper to take notes. It's private, so feel free to be as silly as you want. (see example image below)
- Use a familiar tool bar (Word, Gmail, etc.) to make your notes personal and easy to read. There is even a print button for easy printing.
- Create links to sites that helped you address your specific problems.
- Make lists of the steps you took so that you never have to rely on your own memory ;-)
- See exactly when your notes were saved last so that you don't accidentally loose valuable information.

Joshua demonstrates all the steps for connecting a VHS machine to a DV camera that has already been connected to your computer. By doing this you can use your camera to digitize your analogue video footage and then capture it on your computer. This lesson will empower you to be able to do something about that sinking feeling you get when you think about all of your precious memories stuck on VHS tapes. -
You are not limited to using your VHS machine. You can use your old VHSC camera or Hi8 camera as well. You may have to get adapters in order to connect the cables coming from your older camera to the cable going into your DV camera. This type of adapter can be found online or at places like Radio Shack. -
If your not sure if your camera will do the analogue to digital conversion for you, check the user manual or google it online. The terminology you are looking for is something that talks about the ability to do "analogue pass through." -
The reason you have to turn off the "Enable DV device control" check box is that your computer will generally take control of your camera and take care of pushing play and rewind and the like, form the controls on the screen. When you are passing video through your DV camera you don't even have a tape in the camera for your computer to control. If you don't turn off this check box then your computer will stubbornly refuse to capture the video because as far as it is concerned the tape isn't playing and there is nothing there to capture. -
When you take manual control of your computer you must be careful not to forget to stop capturing after your video is over. If you don't tell it to stop it will just keep capturing until the hard drive is completely full. If that happens to you your only choice will be to delete that entire huge file and capture it again but stopping it at the end this time. -
If you are running low on hard drive space, it might be a good idea to edit and make DVDs of the first VHS tape you captured and then delete the big file you captured before you capture the next one.
