How do you convert VHS tapes to DVD's?
I have some VHS tapes and would like to convert them over to DVD's. We have a VHS recorder but can't get it to work since we haven't bought the converter box for the antenna. What a pain! Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! |

also I was wondering if there is a place that you can just take your VHS tapes and they can convert them over to DVD for you??? |

My stepson did this with a few of ours, but he hooked the vcr to his computer and burnt the dvd's there. Not sure how (he's a computer genius/guru) but that's how he created ours. If you know someone that is computer savy, perhaps they could save you the expense of buying the other machine.

I have transfered close to 100 of my home tapes to DVD. It is pretty easy to do on a VCR/DVD recorder. I have a Magnavox I got at Walmart. It has done a good job and I still have to find time to do more of them. I donated my VCR tapes to the local library after I copied them over to DVDs. You could ask at places like the hospital if they would be interested in the VCR tapes. They have lending libraries as well for the patients usually.

I recently bought software and hardware for my computer called VHS2DVD, it was NOT easy to understand and with all the tech support in e-mail form I couldn't make it work right so I sent it back for a refund.

I have taped off lots of TV series I like and I need to get busy and finish taping the rest off. I have three big plastic bins full of tapes to work on yet. We are TV people. I love certain series and lots of movies. |
