I own two desktops: the main one, for every-day use, dual-booth (Linux Ubuntu/XP) the other has just XP, for essential music notation software Ubuntu doesn't support - but it also holds the software for processing those VHS tapes aforementioned.

How did you fare since, with respect to VHS convergence In general – and VidBox in particular?

I'm also looking forward to a word from the people originally raising this issue, back in 2009. I don't hold my breath, though, in this latter regard: I have been trying on internet, over and over again, but in vain. Pointers to similar, commercially available iexternal interfaces – albeit with Linux support – will be equally welcome, of course. But if you – the wider Ubuntu community out there – happen to know of some clever way of making VidBox actually work on Ubuntu – if this is indeed a viable option – I'd definitely like to hear from you. But is this assumption correct?Īt this moment, VidBox is only operational in XP. And I also wonder if this means Vidbox can actually be installed on Ubuntu.

But lo and behold: two years on, to wit, VidBox does indeed show, suddenly and intriguingly, on my PC (in Places -> Computer, to be precise). Back then, the general complaint was that the hardware aforementioned didn't do a thing in Ubuntu – the same problem I initially ancountered. I just desperately want my VidBox to function in Ubuntu and, moreover, in an uncomplicated, straightforward fashion!īrowsing Ubuntu forums, one night, I happened to come across an old thread (from 2009), by happy coincidence, in which, interestingly, the very same hardware was discussed (on ). Please don't get me wrong here, though: this is not in any way a plea for returning to Microsoft output. It's affordable and (dare I say it?) promising – in Windows, anyway. The video capturing/editing hardware purchased several weeks ago, however (Honestech's 'VHS to DVD 5.0 Deluxe' – also known as VidBox, for short) – an external interface, essentially – does exactly that. No suggestions whatsoever availabe, though, as to the simplest way from A (capturing VHS tapes) to B (storing VHS tapes in digital form) as far as Linux is concerned, it just doesn't seem to come into the equation. Mindbogglingly so, at times (for a newbie like me in particular). Or even more, perhaps: just visit YouTube, for an avalanche of clips on the very matter: solutions offered spirited all, without a doubt – some helpful, some less so but also – almost without exception – pretty complex. Converting VHS, especially, sits most firmly in the former category, in my view,: in Linux, the effort every bit as cumbersome as whatever else in Windows.

In some instances, however, there is no other option: my very select range of Windows applications still in use, with some regularity – music notation software, mostly – will either not work in Ubuntu, or find no viable alternative there. At about this point, a friend introduced me to Linux Ubuntu – and the rest is history.Īvoiding Windows as best I can, ever since, has proven greatly beneficial to my mental health.

Yet everything previously tried – still in Windows – failed consistently: emailing and word processing the only activities my then system deemed “legal” – which, ultimately, drove me raving mad. In my case, the general idea is to store VHS tapes, in digital form, on external hard disk.

A subject frequently recurring on these pages is the small matter of how to transfer VHS tapes to DVD or some or other digital format.
