If you are very technically savvy, you can purchase a video capture card, a DVD burner, some video editing software and some DVD mastering software. Having set up your new video rig, you would capture the contents of the VHS in realtime, make any necessary editorial changes, and master the video for DVD.

If you are something less than a serious technophile the best method is probably to purchase a VHS to DVD recorder, a standalone unit which makes creating a DVD as easy as pressing the record button.

Hi

I have to strengthen AT's hand on this subject.
If you want decent results you need a powerfull computer and a powerfull vido capturing card or external device.

I think you will find that getting a good DVD recorder will be a lot cheaper with guaranteed results. Are you from the UK or USA?

editing software so I try it first. I am from the USA
