How To Record A Video From Your Computer Onto A VHS Tape

I wanted to make my own tapes, I couldn't find a good tutorial, so here's an okay one to maybe help you!

I put this video up a year ago and still get comments often about having issues, something isn't working properly, I left out some detail, etc. I don't have time to address most questions and more importantly, I probably can't answer a lot of them. I still use this method to transfer media to tapes and it works for me, that doesn't mean it's the best method for you, I just wanted to share what I'd figured out. I'm not at all a technical person, I'm a designer with a focus on designing the tape boxes themselves. IF YOU NEED HELP a lot of people have left helpful tips and input in the comments, so do a quick scan and you might find an answer. Good luck to everyone, I'm happy to see this has worked for a lot of folks and you can get it working too, it just takes time, experimenting, and troubleshooting!

I do want to do this for weird aesthetic purposes. You have saved my life.

This video was 3 years ago and it's still a hit. I bought the HDMI2AV and hooked it up to my VHS and laptop and I was so happy to see the end result. I cannot describe how much this video helped me out.

I followed this guide (thx) and I put a 6 hour fail compilation on it and sent it to my gramma in Iceland. I have been banned from my family.

I love vhs collecting and I especially love cool custom tapes, I always thought bootlegs were like some magic ritual someone did to put a movie on a vhs tape that came out years after it would have even been possible. This was an awesome tutorial I can't wait to start messing around and making personal customs! Thanks for a legitimate and professional tutorial and the links too!

My brother wanted to record a thing onto a VHS tape as a cool gift but nothing was working. Thankfully we found this video and found the problem was the channel on the VHS player.
Maybe we're just dumb, but we wouldn't have figured it out without your video. Thanks a lot!

I love this finally someone else with a vhs passion I’m gonna cry

Fun fact: HDMI cables have a native power supply that can power the converters, so sometimes they work without a USB being plugged in

This was probably the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Funny, to the point, the end. Nailed it! Thank you.

So basically I'm working on an analog horror ARG and want to make a physical tape for a fan who has invested in my serious. I really appreciate you making this tutorial, as it will make this process a lot simpler!

I gotta say, I love the aesthetic of this video! Also glad to see I'm not the only one who talks to themselves lol
Great vid! It's going right into my "useful videos" playlist :)

I have been wanting to put my car meet edits on display in my tattoo studio for people to watch in the background and this has answered my question on how to do it. Absolute legend

[Meatcleavermadness]

Yes, thank you. I'm making a project inspired from a 80's-looking retro horror game called Nun Massacre by Puppet Combo

Finally someone who doesn't talk a whole lot of non sense before explaining every little thing you sir are a good man

[adamoboccitto]

You're hilarious bro I love this video. Thank you for showing me

[devongarnet]

My partner loves VHS tapes so I'm going to use this to propose next month ❤️ wish me luck 🤞🏾

[VHSMTV]

You're the only one who could solve this problem for me in a sea of old-to-new videos. Thank you!

[snowzZzZz]

if you don't have a converter you could burn the 4:3 60fps content (as someone else mentioned) to a dvd then connect the dvd player to the vcr and record that

I can see this vid suddenly shooting up in popularity with this funny thing called anolouge horror rising up, which is why I needed this video, so thanks

[sklungofunk]

bro thats exactly what i was looking for, a stupid thing that only vintage fanatics like me does, not an evenly stupid video about how to conver your old movies on digital
im so glad vintage community is still so active and that these types of technologies didnt go to waste, i just hope there's people producing vhs recorders or that they will start producing them again in years, because i dont want to see these techs disappear
