Thanks, it was mostly backed up. There were a few .prproj files from video editing of projects I had saved that I did not remember to back up in the last two months. Then there was the photos I was working on from the week prior. I will definitely aim to have more regular backup. I usually...

I will just post an update where I am up to. After waking up this morning I discovered one of my SSD's was not recognised in the computer. I could not open my photos and other documents folder. In disk management it was there but had lost its allocation which was D drive. I attempted to...

Thanks for that and it is probably above my level of ability at this stage.... I have managed to find a partition wizard and can see the files. If I can extract the files I need then I will just reformat the drive and load everything back on it. It will set me back a little but not as much as...

Hi I turned on my computer this morning and one of my SSD's was unallocated. It is a drive that I have photos stored on and although everything is backed up I am fearful to format the drive. The disk management scans the drive as healthy and no errors but to allocate a letter it wants to format...

Hi I am just wondering if I am using hotswap bays for storage hard drives, if I changed the port in the computer they were plugged into would the computer still recognise it? Would I have to change settings? Also would it be possible to take a drive out of a computer and use the data on it on...

Hi I have some questions and concerns about using a VPN. My question is are they really effective and worth the subscription. For example if I am using my VPN how do web accounts I log into recognise my device all the time. Examples are Facebook and iCloud. How are they able to recognise my...

Hey I just thought of something else recently about the video I tried to get on my computer. Could a recording blocker that disrupts the AGC signal cause the computer to not be able to record it? I am aware some VHS tapes had a copy blocker coded on them that the signal would be distorted if...

I have the USB 2 so that was fine and at the moment my USB port is fine for playing Blu Ray via USB into the PC to watch on either of my screens. I do have the PAL system here in Australia. I suspected it was the software but I also got the impression my computer was struggling to keep up when...

Thanks I should have done that but yes it was as you described. Both bad picture and dropped frames as well as poor audio. I do not have a slow computer but for some reason when I hooked the VCR up to it the computer program would not get everything that the VCR was playing. It was like a whole...

Thanks for all replies. I have checked my VCR and it only has the red yellow and white cables at the back. I will take a look at all the suggestions above and find out what I can get in Australia sent to me. The VCR I have still works and the picture of the videos are fine although the enlarged...

Thanks that is also helpful as I have not purchased anything yet. The VCR I have and can use has the standard red, white and yellow cables. I do not believe it has S-video but could check. Also with my computer I have one spare PCIe x4 slot available.

Thanks. It looks similar to the kwold device thing so would I be right to assume that not all should be considered the same? I have a few online options to get it or highly rated ones in Australia. Is the USB transfer the only option?

I am just wondering if there is any method of getting VHS video to a PC to record what is on it and store digitally? Example. I have some old VHS video tapes of my time in the Navy such as my graduation video, adventure activities and various other sentimental videos that are on VHS. I have...

I am not asking to break copyright. Perhaps you have misread the whole thing. TO rephrase it I have a program called Cyberlink Media Suite which appears to be a legal program that allows you to play Blue Ray disks on your PC. It can read the flies and play them. That is all well and good. All...

Alright to clear up the legality part, I am trying to have blue ray movies saved to a hard drive to play directly on my smart TV free from an internet connection if need be. I own them and have no intention of selling, distributing or any other breach of copyright activity. Basically I am...
