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?

Hey ! :)

When I asked to my "computer guy" (lol), a couple of months back, what I would need to transfer clips from my VHS tapes to my computer..he told me I needed a software (with a PCI card) to capture video from a VCR .. this is the one he was talking about : Pinnacle Studio AV/DV

I found the version 9.0 on Ebay, at a really low cost : http://cgi.ebay.ca/PINNACLE-STUDIO-AV-DV-POWERFUL-CREATIVE-VIDEO-EDITING_W0QQitemZ8791034340QQcategoryZ3761QQssPageNameZWD4VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I don't know if it would be less trouble that way..but my "computer guy" told me it was the software to have ;) ..

So I'm just sharing with you :) So you know all the possibilities ;)

No problem ;) I heard it's a very good and easy-to-use software :)
