I have a lot of old VHS tapes I'd like to transfer over to DVD format. I dug around on the Internet and read a little information, but thought I would ask here. Has anyone had experience with this subject?

I know I can take my tapes into a commercial business and have them transferred, but I have so many tapes and I wouldn't mind having the option to edit out some sections while transferring.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Jackson

There are several ways to do what you ask.
DVR(digital video recorder) "vivo" I think
is the you hook up to the TV.

You could also get a vidoe card that captures
video to your hard drive so it can be burned
to a DVD. ATI Technology has these types of
video cards. The "All in Wonder" series card
has many functions including TV, video out,
S-video, and so much more. If you have a DVD
player, and hook it up to the ATI card, you'll
be able to capture without the use of any out-
side source.

Once captured to your hard drive, You'll need
"rendoring" software to burn DVDs.

Some DVR devices have DVD recording capabilities.

Creating movies that are two hours long needs
lots of hard drive space. Depending on the size
you capture in, it could be as large as 10 Gigs
(giga-bytes=1,000 mega bytes)

Once you have copied your movies, it may not work
on some DVD players. Be sure to test on several
DVD players.

Hope this helps.

u can go very expensive (Canopus) or home use (Pinnacle).

I chose Pinncle studio stuff. Very easy, inexpensive and you can use something like a Dazzle DVC80 USB interface, or something from pinnacle.

I chose this because the VHS was not all that great anyway. So the quality was as good as expected. I use a sony DVD burner and slowly transfering VHS to DVD. I do about 1 a day. Have to play the VHS captured by a P4 2.8 gig XP machine.

Win 98 don't work because it has to much overhead and will drop so many frames the sound will be out of sync. You must have at least a win2k machine to do it.

In any case you will need either a card or a USB interface from your tape player. Analog to digital.
