A:AnswerThey are converted to mpeg. On playback it looks like your computer needs a CODEC for mpeg-2 (free form the Microsoft store if it's not on your computer)
A:AnswerI'm inclined to say yes as long as you have a player that has the correct output. So if your player has a white and yellow output then you should be able to. The software allows you to just record audio so the format should be mp3, wave or something similar.
A:AnswerYes. Tricky/challenging part of the task is having the proper cables based on what the "camera" in VTR mode/camcorder has for outputs & in type. Assuming you have an earlier consumer camcorder without RCA jacks, instead an "A/V" out (headphones size type jack), you'll need an A/V cable which has one end matching plug type (although you could physically plug a small headphone jack type in that, proper cable would have 3 (typically black) "rings" verses the 2 seen on a stereo headphones type). The other end needs to be RCA male type (as based on the item photos/diagrams the shown included connection device with USB shows RCA female type jacks). Simply match the colors up: Yellow-composite video | White-Left ch. of stereo audio | Red-Right ch. of stereo audio. There are other twists with various adapters to do a variation/adaption to so far there, but simple as it can be left there; however if on the camcorder you have female type RCA outs, you can just use an RCA male-to-male cable connection. Also, if your camcorder has either/in addition, the larger analog jack for video output type "S-Video", for best quality take advantage of that with a separate S-Video cable. (Remember S-VHS & Hi8? Many MiniDV camcorders also have the S-Video out opt., but that's another paragraph elsewhere.) Of course you still need the audio connection said as well. Unless the video software provides for selecting between the Yellow connector composite video, to S-Video connector, disconnect/don't use the one you don't want.
A:AnswerWhat I use depending on the computer I am on. I have Pinnacle 12 on Windows 7, and Pinnacle 23 on Windows 10. The converted digital file ( most likely mpg2 - standard for dvd is 720 x 480) would need to be converted to a .vob file. The Pinnacle Studio program does a really great job of burning the mpg2 onto a dvd and depending on your software you may be also able to put it on a Blu-Ray disc.
A:AnswerYes, depending on your software. I use Pinnacle 12, and I can set the chapters manually ( for example 10 min) OR I can set it where it detects scenes.
A:AnswerYou would need an independent program that will convert mpg2 into mp4. Think about the output of a VHS is about 320 x 240. ( the standard size of mpg1). Once you get the mpg2 file - you can input that video file into a program like Pinnacle Studio and convert it into a mp4.
