Hello - I want to play vhs tapes in my vcr through my computer or even plug straight into the computer monitor. I don't even need audio, just video.
I am set up to capture vhs using my main vcr. But I want to use a second, cheaper vcr to scan through the tapes so I can keep the capture vcr as clean as possible. I'd like to stack the two vcr's, using one to look at the footage on the tape and the other to capture. I want to do this without having to plug/unplug cables each time.
The computer monitor has two USB ports on the side. Could I buy a RCA-->USB converter to see video? I think one problem may be switching between video sources for playback. Basically, does anyone know how/if I can do this. I'm trying to avoid going into the other room to view the tapes via the family tv. The workflow would be much better if I could do everything at my work station (computer).
Thank You.
