Topic: VHS to DVD

[DJ]

Hi All,

I have a load of small VHS cassettes from an old camcorder that I would like to transfer to DVD.  I already have the adaptor to make the cassettes normal VHS size.  I would like to edit them as a lot of footage is mixed over one or two cassettes.

What I need to know is what hardware do I need?

I know I need a DVD writer - (any recommendations on a budget DVD writer welcome!), and some sort of capture card - but not sure where to start.

Also what type of software is needed - don't really want to spend too much as I doubt I'll be using it again after transferring all the old footage.

Thanks

DJ

You will need a video capture device such as Dazzle.  I would recommend looking at a copy of this week's "Computer Active" which contains a four page article (including lots of lovely pretty pictures) showing how to do it.  It will be worth the £1.35 (unless of course you can borrow or steal a copy!)

Ooooh, just off to buy a copy now. Can't wait to see the pretty pictures.
