Making a movie....

[hubbs]

Hi, I have been asked to make like a documentary movie for one of my relatives w/scanned pictures of their childhood and background music and all that stuff. I need to find a way to get this movie on VHS video cassette. Can anyone help me find out what I will need to do this?

Thanks in Advance

What I always do it... convert to VCD using TMpeg or whatever... then burn on a CD you can play in your DVD player, and hook your VCD up to record off of that. This is all assuming you don't have a card with AV/out.

You could do it with a Radeon 8500 DV. That'd probably be the cheapest way. You probably don't want to spend $1000s on professional video equipment.

My Geforce 2 GTS has a hookup to a TV. That is how I do it..............

Yeah, but the GeForce2 GTS doesn't have a TV-In, right? Just TV-Out? How would he get the video from cassette, to the computer for editing, and back to the cassette?

He can buy the GeForce4 Ti4600 that has both like I did

Highest quality to price on a home computer, you'd probably want to work in DV.

You can get a firewire card and a Sony analog to digital converter. This will take any analog signal and convert it to firewire input. It will do the reverse for output. Both of these will cost around $500 total. (That's a bit generous in the price.)

Make your video and when you're done, just make it a DV file and you'll be able to output it.
