Default VHS to DVD

Does anyone have any recommendations for a not-too-expensive piece of equipment to copy VHS tapes to DVD.

I have a modest VHS collection that’s been increased my the eminent demise of my local Mom and Pop video store. I just went there to rent a movie and found out they are selling their entire stock.

I picked up about 12 titles and all but one are VHS. Steven King’s The Stand and IT among them. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I’m going back later today when I have more time.

Anyway, any recommendations would be appreciated.

TIA,
greenage

Get a video capture card for your computer (you can get one for under $100) and a DVD burner (~$60) and you should be all set (provided your hard drive has enough space for the captured video - if not you can get a decent sized HD for under $100).

I tried that and I don't recommend it. The quality was only ok and it was very time consuming. Try this instead: http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...amp;pfp=BROWSE

They had it on sale for $200 on Black Friday.
