[Crusader]

Geoff is at the mercy of Canada Post lol.

[ben is a sandwich]

ooh. i wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

[glassjaw]

they think they're sooo special with their little cars and faggy little mail bags, they prance around the streets, and double park uptown....gah, I hate mail carriers!

[the old guy]

O.K. Kiddies...Mr. Postman just dropped off the tape and I shall comence with the dubbing...somehow. ;)

[Hyphnip]

you are teh awesome!

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

Hm. I know Geoff is taking a well-deserved hiatus...

 

But... Still so curious...

[Hyphnip]

patience young grasshopper!

[the old guy]

O.K. I've got the tape but I can't figer out fer the life of me how to download it!!!

 

 

Hep.... ;)

[Guest Prosis]

Well depending on the hardware your computer has there are different ways to do it. Do you have a graphic card with TV input?

 

If not, do you have a DVD Recorder on your TV?

 

If not...well...the only way I can see then is to put a computer mic in front of the speakers whilst the song plays lol

 

That's all I can come up with ;)

[the old guy]

How bout I just give someone the tape so's I ain't gotta worry about it!!!

[Guest Prosis]

I can't help you there, I'm poor and have none of that fancy technology...

[cweb]

you'd probably be better off recording to your pc's "line in" if it has one. you would probably find it in the back of the computer near the mic input and the speaker output. they're more likely to give you nice stereo sound than a mic input, though the recording level might need to be turned up.

 

if it's a regular cassette tape, i'd assume you'd need:

a tape player with a "headphone" (3.5mm) output

a pc with a (3.5mm) line-in/mic input

a cord (probably 1-3 feet long for comfort) with two male 3.5mm ends

recording software, like Audacity

 

then it should be a matter of opening the program, selecting the proper input (mic or line in), adjusting the recording level, clicking "record" on the software, pushing "play" on the tape player, and letting it roll.. then export the sound as a .wav and digitally sweeten/recompress it.

 

if only i had a good cassette player...

[Hyphnip]

Well, I think anyone would want the tape... but if I had it, it'd deprive everyone else of hearing it so that's not good. Wheres Anton when you need him?

[uglyredhonda]

I've got a component tape deck hooked up to my computer. I'd be happy to convert it, but that means shipping it to the southeastern US.

[haircut-rabbit]

Are we not talking about a VHS tape and not a cassette?

[the old guy]

Yep.It's video and that's why I can't figer it oot.

[rockstar]

There is a thing called DVDXpress available at Staples locaions that connects to your computer USB and lets you capture vhs... its like $100 I think though. You should buy one and return it the next day.

[cweb]

it's a video, eh? d'oh...

 

that makes things more complicated.... yeah, you need someone with a VCR, a good video capture card, and Final Cut/Premiere (for the best transfer quality)...

 

i've got a slightly different USB capture card that captures from a VCR or whatnot... problem is that I haven't figured out how to get it to not look like crap, heh... i'll fool around with it and see if i can get it looking purty. keep ya posted.

[saturnine]

it would be easiest to have it transferred to dvd.

[trufflepigs]

Ya i could do it, done it lots before.. i have a good video capture card with component and s-video inputs and Adobe Premiere... would have to ship to Olds Alberta...

[Crusader]

I might be able to do it. But I'm not 100% sure. I don't have a working VCR and there's a lot of class.

[the old guy]
