A bit of technical advice please

[Wazza]

So cleaning out the cupboard under the stairs came across a couple of things.

Lots of dvds that will have photos of the kids on. Don’t have a dvd player but can get a cheap drive and hook it up to the laptop no problem

But we also found an old video recorder that uses those mini video cassette tapes. Now if I want to transfer those to the laptop is it simply a case a finding the correct cable to link the two or is there something mor technical involved?

No idea but can you let me know if you get an answer please? Especially somewhere close to home.

The cable has differing solutions depending on type of computer and may need a daisy chain type config- I only know this because a friend asked me this question the other week and he needed to connect it to a Mac.
Google and YouTube does have various solutions.

Thanks for this. Have been doing a bit of googling and I simply need an a cable, male AV to to usb. Then just use video capturing software. Think Clipchamp that came with windows 11 should do the trick
