VHS to DVD ConversionVideo Editing

Once you have converted your VHS tapes to a standard DVD format, you can use video editing software to edit your movies.

In most cases you will first need to 'rip' the movie from the DVD to your hard disk. This simply means grabbing the move in DVD format and converting it to a format such as AVI or MPG which can be modified using your video editing software.

You need a modern computer to perform video editing, with lots of disk space, lots of RAM and a fast CPU.  If you try to perform video editing on a older or slower computer it may not work at all or it may be very slow.

Each particular video editing program is slightly different and has different features and enhancements. Some of the most popular video editing programs are:
