Hi Barbara- I've been transferring my VHS tapes as well as the Hi-8 tapes from my camcorder using Dazzle. See http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Dazzle/?dz=1. I use the cheaper $49.99 version, recommended by my cousin's high school senior, although I've seen it on sale at Best Buy for $39.99. It's very easy to use. Just plug it into your VCR or your camcorder, play the tape, and click on your computer, and it transfers the analog tape to digital on your hard drive. You can then copy to a DVD or clean it up first and then copy. Sandy >> I have many VHS tapes that I would like to transfer to medium used on my >> computer such as CD/DVD. >> 1.
