VHS to DVD

Does anyone on my flist know of, or have any guides on how I could convert an old vhs tape to dvd? I have looked around quite a bit but can't find anything very helpful. Oh and while I'm asking, are there any specific hardware/software that I would need to do this?

Yes, there is. You need a Vhs/DVD recorder, not sure if that's what they're called excatly. But they run about 300 something dollars here in the US. It's dual, has VHS and the DVD. Pop in the tape, and record to dvd.

Not sure if there is another way, probably hooking up your VCR to the computer, or dvd burner? I am not sure.

That sounds very simple. I don't have a vhs/dvd recorder at the moment but I had planned on buying one at some point. I know there is a way to hook up the vcr to the computer, but how, not sure either. Hmmm.

Looking at the prices they are pretty cheap now. I think that's what I shall do. Go buy one of them. Thanks Cassie. :)

Your welcome! Over here they dropped down a bit as well, not excatly sure how much they're going for here last time I checked. But I am glad I was able to help.
