How to Convert an Interwise File
Interwise is a video cassette recorder that connects to the TV via a coaxial or RCA cable. Although Interwise was designed to be connected to a TV, you can connect it to other devices, such as a computer. Once you connect the Interwise VCR to the computer, you can import the file on the VCR to the computer and convert it to a digital file. You can then view the file on any media player and even use it if you want to create a movie.
