I have a lot of VHS tapes from the 90's that I've thought of putting on dvd's because the VHS taps simply won't last that much longer. Some I will just toss because they are games I'll never care to see but some are SuperBowls and other great games.

How can I go abot putting them on my computer or dvd's. Also, anybody know the equilavents of VHS vs dvd's? Like how many hours of a VHS tape can I get one 1 dvd.

You can buy a burner that hooks up to a VCR from Bestbuy, etc. You can also buy burner/DVD combos.

Certain players record at better quality. 2 Hours is your best IMO, however you can do a 1 hour quality. I don't see much difference in the 2 when it comes from a VCR (analog) signal. I usually record at 3 hour speed on mine with no problems!

I do this quite a bit, please PM Me with your questions.

What's the price range on something like this? I really don't have many videos to do so I might have to ask around to see if anybody has it if it's really expensive.
