I have a VHS tape that I would like converted onto a DVD. Does anyone have a VHS to DVD recorder that would be willing to help me out.

Sure... Might even have a video capture card if you want to do it yourself.

Hey Dean, where do I find what you're talking about?

He's talking about a PVR card which you put into one of the PCI slots in your PC. I allows you to play cable TV or VCR or anything else really through your computer so it displays on your monitor and you record it. Once you connected a VCR to it you could play and record VHS tapes with your computer and presumably burn DVD's from the recordings.

Sounds like Nat has a device designed for the task...much easier.

Maybe when he is done I can rent it from you. My grandparents have a ton of old home movies on VHS that would be awesome to burn on a dvd.

Hire me as your personal technical consultant.

Kind of... A few of my machines have ATI "All-In-Wonder" video cards that tune non-digital TV channels, and have Audio/Video inputs and outputs of assorted types. I can bring just about anything into the machines, edit and then output them to just about anything including burning them to DVD. I happen to have a VCR plugged into one of them. PVR is just one of the things it can do in software, but not really the primary purpose of the card itself.

What I am pretty sure I have lying around is a card that just has Audio/Video inputs, thus a "capture" card which you bring video into your PC with, and then edit and burn to DVD or play on your PC, convert for your iPod, etc... There are even USB versions of these types of device that will work with most any PC.

Stand alone devices VHS-DVD converters are great if you just want to convert without editing or storing/watching the results on a PC/iPod, etc...

Based on Bob's love of watching video on his iPod, I thought he might want to be able to do that.
