Is it possible to transfer digital files to a VHS tape? When I try to find information on this, all I find are devices/articles saying what device to get to transfer VHS to your PC.

OP means is there such a think as a video cassette drive, where you can store computer data onto it like on a server's tape drive.
The answer is no. And VHS is deprecated.
Jonathan Moore
>Is it possible
Yeah sorta
Problem is it's not as good as you're probably imagining. You're better off using LTO
David Hall
Anything is possible if you get creative enough, but you'll likely need to figure the entire project out yourself. Most likely not worth your time.
Nolan Diaz
What' I'm meaning is, if I wanted to copy a movie, let's say Terrifier, onto a VHS tape, could I do that? I imagine I would need some old equipment. It's been a long ass time since I've tinkered with anything like this, but hypothetically couldn't I connect my VCR to a tv that has my computer inputted to it and record it to VHS that way, or would it not record because they're not on the same channel (VCR being presumably component/composite/coaxial and the computer being HDMI)?
Carter Taylor
I've been thinking about this too. I'd probably record have a PC playing the video and just have the VCR record it.
Jonathan Young
You need a GPU with a composite or S-Video output, or an HDMI to composite converter. You can then plug that into a VCR, hit record on that, and hit play in your media player.
Chase Barnes
fuck I'm retarded, I mean just have the PC playing the video
Levi Davis
To copy a movie from your PC onto a VHS cassette, you need to set up your video player to run full screen, then you need to attach your computer's DVI, VGA or HDMI output to a DVI/VGA/HDMI adapter that converts to RCA composite with stereo output, then you have to connect that to your VCR's RCA input plugs.
Who says you even need a specialised GPU for connecting your computer to a VCR?
Then, turn on your VCR, press RECORD & then press PLAY on your video player.
Brody Lee
Okay.
Let me process that again.
You're asking if you can record a movie onto a VHS tape.
...why the fuck do I even keep coming back to this shithole?
Kayden Gonzalez
I just looked them up. Surprisingly there's still a lot of cards with S-Video. If nothing else, I have a mini cassette camcorder that, I believe, has an audio input jack. I could record it the old ghetto way and record it off of the monitor with sound being input in.
Juan Wright
Why not use more modern tape drives? VHS is pretty chonky dude
Eli Flores
Yes there is, your answer is Video proof is youtube.com/watch?v=TUS0Zv2APjU
Just use BD-Rs user
Blake Ramirez
commodore amiga had a backup system that used vhs. here's one:

holy shit

Is what I said - or an HDMI to composite converter.
Eli Jenkins
There are also readily available 3.5 mm to RCA cables, which would connect a normal sound card to the audio input on your VCR.
Luke Fisher
this was a good episode
Jeremiah Hughes
Most VCRs don't have s-video inputs. If yours only has composite, you'll need something to convert VGA or HDMI to composite, but make sure the media looks and sounds good on a TV before recording.
You can also burn it to a DVD and record from a DVD player.

S-Video to composite is a very simple conversion and adapters are cheap.
Aiden Torres
I used to be into doing this till my psu on my vcr died op
It's pretty easy the way I did it
>have old desktop
>have old cheap gpu I got that has composite output
>run the composite to the input on vcr
>get a 3.5mm to rca adapter to run my audio to the inputs on the vrc
>have vrc hooked up to my tv so I can demo what will record
>resize everything till its how I want it
>hit record and a second later play the video so that it syncs since the machine takes a few seconds to start
Carter Barnes
Of course it's possible. All digital information is manifest through analog signals.
Look into information theory and signal processing.
Jacob Clark
PCM Adapters are cool
16-bit 44.1 khz digital audio from a VHS tape or any recordable composite video format.
Jack Flores
nice
Alexander Turner
Look into go to best buy
