1983 24hrs of Daytona

I just started watching the race. It's freaking awesome!!!! there's like 8 widebody 1st gens including the Racing Beat one. I'm on my way to my frieds house to convert it to Mpeg.

I'm just about finished with my FB Compalation video and this footage is the final piece I needed.

Stay tuned for my next thread.

If your laptop actually has s-video in, I think you may be able to get a converter to switch your vcr composite out to s-video so you could hook it up to the laptop. Which laptop do you have? Usually if a laptop has an s-video port it is for output, not input.

I bought the tape from www.dukevideo.com but when it arrived at my house it would'nt play because it's PAL format.

I e-mailed duke, and they refunded my money and told me to keep the video. I found a local place that converted it to (US Version) for $20.

I working on my compilation video as I type this. Should be up pretty soon

Mike - S-Video to Composite (RCA) adaptors are quite easy to find, and will allow you to capture your video onto your laptop. I just hope you've got a nice laptop, 'cause video editing takes a lot of memory and processing power...

3Ghz P4 HT , 1 gig of ddr ram, 128Mb graphics card ,80 gig hard disk. I think that should cover it

It was an S video out anyway.

ahh, well, the computer would've handled it, but if it's an out, that's not going to do you very much good...

There are some USB adapters that allow capture of video to computers. Since you can't change the video card and the S-Video ended up being an output port, this would probably work for you. Dazzle seems to be a big producer of these items.

yes , been having a look at those ... the ones with better resolution (higer than 320x???) are too expensive considering the very little use I will get out of it.

Might as well buy a second graphics card for my PC instead and pull it accross the network to my laptop for editing. should be cheaper that way
