I was literally searching for this video and didn’t even know it, I’ve thought about this before and you opened my eyes, thank you.

[@GrizzlyPhantoms]

Excellent presentation and easy to follow instructions. Thank you for posting this. I look forward to future VHS making videos!

[@tapevaultstudios]

Thank you so much for kind words! There’s a lot of VHS related videos in the works. 😊

[@GrizzlyPhantoms]

@@tapevaultstudios I have your Barbarian tape (the door cutout is so cool!) so I know you know your stuff. 🔥

[@ericwatson83]

Where are the other videos on your channel?

[@tapevaultstudios]

I've been very lazy and unmotivated. I have a couple videos basically done :) @@ericwatson83

[@goopytheahh]

thanks big bro

[@user-fg1st7vs4c]

Can someone make a video showing how to do all this like what to hook up to what and show how I need something specific

[@tapevaultstudios]

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what this video is 🤔

[@HannahHauskins]

Nows my chance to make a real analog horror

Kenny Rodger’s SON

[@christopherhernandezzuniga1433]

Tried it, everything go as planned besides the actual recording, I press record and doesn’t record anything but lines and some part of the audio, I tried to record some KZbin on it

[@adamrooney517]

Any ideas how us in the UK can record on our VHS players as I've tried these ways and doesn't seem to work

[@user-fg1st7vs4c]

Can you do these on a flat screen? I don’t have a small crt tv mines big

[@tapevaultstudios]

100% as long as your tv has AV RCA inputs you'll be good!

[@MarioC-xj5hq]

If I already have an HDMI to Analog converter for my Roku player, to play on my analog tv do I still need another scaler? I'm assuming I do since I need to connect my laptop to my tv to then record Netflix to my VHS player. Right now I have no luck at all.

[@tapevaultstudios]

So most rca to hdmi converters already rescale your image. If it looks correct on your screen then you should be good to go! The converter I use in this video rescales my input to the correct format. If it looks off then I'd suggest getting something that can scale it or I'd recommend rescaling the video through a video editing software. 😃

[@sf3078]

Only one problem the converter is bad quality one

[@tapevaultstudios]

@@sf3078 it’s definitely a cheap one. But for digital to tape conversion it’s lasted me 2 years with no problems. Can’t go wrong with that.

[@HorrorVHSandPizzaPlease]

So I followed all these steps, used my ps5, everything worked except my picture was black and white only...no color.. you have any solutions ?

[@tapevaultstudios]

Look into what settings may be blocking this internally on your ps5 display settings. May be as simple as turning of sonys protection setting that disables recording through things like an elgato.

[@joshuapowell1868]

Vhs tapes don't stop playing at all like internet does in the future everything proven people are buying VCR players cleaning tapes vhs movies off eBay and Amazon now days everything proven people like myself will never get rid of my vhs tapes people like myself are fixing broken vhs tapes with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's plus I clean out mode switches in VCR players that starts playing again with out no problem's

[@rx9171]

Did this, didn't work

[@rx9171]

Please help

[@tapevaultstudios]

@@rx9171 Explain a bit more. What equipment did you use to record?

[@rx9171]

​@@tapevaultstudiosI hooked it up just as you described, nothing on the screen flipped through L1, L2 and the rest of the channels. Nothing, I checked the converter box same one as the video describes (everything plugged in)

[@tapevaultstudios]

@@rx9171 So first go through the set up again to double check in/out routes. Then for safe measure make sure the converter is powered through usb. Like I said there are a ton of different VCR models so mess around with your device to see if that is the issue. If there is no signal from the media player you have plugged in I'd do some research on if that player has hmdi output blocking to prevent external capture. PS4’s and PS5’s have a setting that can prevent capture through external devices like that so that's something to keep in mind. Run some more tests and lmk what you find. :)

[@rx9171]

​@@tapevaultstudios I will, thank you for taking to time to help. Love your video, i hope you make more.
