can you transfer cassettes to dvd disc and how do you do it?

Answer 1

I do it all the time... I have musicmatch jukebox which is free, but you have to purchase on line a software for $20 called line-in recording. A cassett player with a line-out, and a RCA to 1/8in chord. Down load the tape, when you burn it to CD it will burn in mp3 format. Once in a while there will be a CD player that won't play mp3 format...It takes a little practice to use it..with musicmatch you can load on to mp3 players also....and there ya go..

Answer 2

There are hundreds of different ways to do this.
The simplest is to do a direct copy from the cassette to the DVD recorder. Trouble with this is that the editing is almost non existant.
The method I use is to copy the whole of the video cassette to my HD video recorder (don't have a PC) then I edit the result into a programme - leaving out the unwanted bits. The copy to DVD.
You can copy music cassettes the same way if you wish but the sound won't improve as the original source would be poor.
You can get more involved software that will produce a more 'finished' result but these come at a price of time and money (usually).
One thing that you should never do is to throw the original cassettes out until you are completely happy with the result. You can always have another go if you still have them.
Another tip is to re-wind the tapes several times if you haven't used them for a while. Also get them to the same temperature as the room you are using. I also find doing 1 at a time is best as you can keep up with the labelling. Otherwise you will end up with dvds that you don't remember what is on them.

Answer 3

Buy a VHS?DVD machine. Unless the cassettes are copy protected (Disney are addicted to doing this) you can easily copy from tape to disc with just a couple of clicks.

Answer 4

Do you mean on a dvd recorder or burning it on your computer? I was able to run my cassette player into my receiver and from my receiver into the PC and record it using the sound recorder function. It records it as a .wav file though and will only play on the computer unless you burn it using a program that converts .wav files.

Answer 5

Connect your cd player to your PC sound card "Line In" socket. Use software such as Audacity or Adobe Audition to record the tracks to .wav format. To record to audio CD, simply use CD recording software to create an audio CD from the wav files. To record to DVD, convert track to MP3 and burn tracks onto DVD in that format.

Answer 6

Get a tape deck with phonos out. Have these go into your sound card phono in and record the tape using a wav recorder (windows has one already).

Edit it using some package of your choice, then using Windows XP, burn to CD or use cd burning software (making sure you select create audio cd).

Good luck.

They can do that for you in your local Snappy Snapps store.
