Video/Audio on website - 1/14/2002 12:49:49
I have a client that wants to post brief portions of their video on their website. However, the problem is he only has his video on videotape. This is also the problem with the audio - he only has them on cassette tape. This may be too technical but is there a way to do this that isn't so difficult?

AudioCatalyst will allow you to make both wave and mp3 files directly from the line in jack on your sound card.

But if you have a CDRW on your machine, there's a possibility it came with software that will also record from the soundcard and it won't cost you anything since you already have it. I think NTI and Nero will both do that.
Otherwise AudioCatalyst is your best bet ($30), but I wouldn't say it's really easy. A dedicated wave editor like Cool Edit 2000 is the best way to go but there's definately nothing easy about wave editors! You may be better off to find somebody that can do this for you. It's a breeze if you do it everyday like I do and you're used to it.
I don't know anything about video though. I assume you need a fancy video card to transfer from a VHS machine...dunno.

yep, the equipement needed for video can be daunting, especially if you want quality. If you have a newer PC your video card may be able to accept a video signal. It needs to have a plug that is similar to the one from the VCR, usually RCA (cover cap, patch cable). Mine has video sound as well. My experience with these cards is: Buy a turnkey system that you know can do video! It took me more than one card and more than one computer to get it working. Fortunately the software was free....cassette just goes in through the sound card...
All this to change a number into a name...

If you have something like ATI's All-In-Wonder Card, it's as simple as hooking up a VCR and audio components up to the card. Er, that and using the software it comes with....

then by all means find somebody around town that can do it for you. You'd be surprised how many high school kids do this sort of thing all the time.
