Virtual VCR is a substandard emulation of a virtual tape recording and playback device.
Virtual VCR is a software that allows you to simulate a tape recorder/player unit on your computer. However, this program has a very poor implementation, as it can only record data using another program like dvgrab or capture.
The program can handle a small set of commands sent to a tape recorder/player and send responses accordingly. One interesting feature of Virtual VCR is that it makes iMovie believe that your PC-Linux is a camera recorder, which can be useful if you don't have a camcorder.
To use Virtual VCR, you need to change the ROM of your IEEE 1394 driver by following the instructions provided in the ROM file. After rebuilding the driver, you can load it using the "insmod" command and launch the Virtual VCR program.
You can test your virtual VCR by using another computer, such as an iMac DV with iMovie. Both applications will believe that your PC-Linux is a tape recorder/player, and you can record movies from the iMac using dvgrab or capture.
The latest release of Virtual VCR includes an improvement in unit handling command. If you're looking for a software that can simulate a tape recorder/player on your computer, Virtual VCR may be worth checking out.
