How To Convert VHS To DVD Guide

Audio Cleaning
Software
The videocamcorder and the videoplayer itself generate noise. To remove the noise from the audio, we will have to use this:
- VirtualDub - http://www.virtualdub.com/
- MAGIX audio cleaning lab - http://www.magix.com/
Getting the audio stream
In order to get the best possible audio quality on your DVD, you will need to extract the audio stream, before removing the additional noise. Unwanted videoplayer noise can be distracting to the footage which you are trying to watch, in the same way that even the hum of your laptop or the ticking of a loud clock can b ecome distracting during a tense game of partypoker, or other online tournaments. However, whilst converting your video files to DVD can be a great way to preserve image quality, and you needn't compromise on sound. Removing unwanted noise can be a relatively quick and simple process just follow the instructions below.
First of all we have to get the audio stream from the avifile that iuVCR produced. This is quite a simple task for VirtualDub.
Open the video file and from the menu select: »File« → »Save WAV«. Choose the location and save it.
Removing the noise
The best results I'm getting with MAGIX audio cleaning lab, but if you know about anything else, let me know. It's a wizard-like program, so I won't give here screenshots about the entire process. On the page 1. Import select the source - the previously getted .wav from the video.
Go to page »2. Cleaning« and select »Denoiser« with the »Cassette recorder« sample. It works well for VHS tape too. Move the slider to get the result you are satisfied with. If you move it too much to the right, it also removes some sounds that are not noisy, so be careful.
Probably the best result you can get with the Expert mode - click the Expert button and select the very silent part of the audio stream. It will then reduce the main sound with the one you selected.
Go to »3. Export« and save the denoised wav into new file. That's it.
