i understand that this probably all can't be answered in one post. i'm looking to first learn if this is even possible and secondly looking for a shove in the right direction.

my goal: to transfer a vhs video to DVD
the kink: replacing vhs audio with separate mp3 source

i have some 1st gen VHS tapes of some concert footage. the audio on the vhs is listenable, but not great. the footage, however, is priceless and very high quality.

there are now soundboard quality audio sources for these very same concerts. i would like to dub the new audio source over the existing video while digitizing the video. i'm sure that the vhs' have stretched out a little over time, i realize this will be a time consuming project to sync up the audio and video.

what i need to know is:

what is the best software to use?
what hardware do i need?
what else do i need to take into consideration?

i have a capable PC with a duo core and an HT Omega Plus+ sc

thank you!!!

you need a capture card to rcord it to the computer. don't even bother recording the audo you need some old video converting software that join audio and video together. most stuff these day don't split them


dvr help credit card deals at dvrhelp.com is a good source

VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists is a good source

i don't understand what you mean regarding the audio?

you are trying to take out audio and add new audio right?

well you need split the audio from video then add new audio. the older video converting programs did split the audio from video then remux (put them back) them.

thanks fat clown! i'll check that out tonight!!

i will need to adjust the speed of the video. i'm anticipating that it won't be perfectly synced up with the new audio source....i assume you can do that with this program?
