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.
