Play home movies from VHS on Windows Media Player Smoothly

Perhaps you too have a VHS tape (or stack of them) that you want to transfer to your Windows Media Player for playing. If so, this column might help you out. It describes the steps I took to transfer the video from the VHS tape to Windows Media Player on my computer, edit the video and then burn the edited video to a DVD. I also include some time-saving tips that I discovered along the way.

Here show the supported video and audio files of Windows Media Player in a table:

File type (format)File name extension
CD audio.cda
Intel Indeo video technology.ivf
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF).aif, .aifc, and .aiff
Windows Media audio and video files.asf, .asx, .wax, .wm, .wma, .wmd, .wmv, .wvx, .wmp, and .wmx
Windows audio and video files.avi and .wav
Windows Media Player skins.wmz and .wms
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2, .mpa, .mpe, .mp2v*, and .mpv2
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI).mid, .midi, and .rmi
AU (UNIX).au and .snd
MP3.mp3 and .m3u
DVD video.vob

From the table we know that the VHS type video and audio files are not included. There is another way to get though this issue. In order to watch and play the VHS video on Windows Media Player, first you should convert the VHS files into Windows Media Player supported format like the normal mp4. Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate could give you a lot help, it can rip the VHS files into the any Windows Media Player supported format in the table.
