Hi Barbara Well before you try and convert your VHS to DVD you should learn to use google <vbg> (that is a joke I may add :-) A quick google finds quite a lot on the subject including this http://www.signvideo.com/conv-v-to-d.htm The easiest way it seems is to get a combined DVD & VHS recorder and it would appear as easy as putting a video and DVD in the recorder and away you go If you do go down this route I would ask specifically if the unit is capable of doing VHS to DVD to be sure You don't say where you are so its hard to advise of a supplier but suspect all countries will have them readily available There are other software methods which I see Sandy has just posted information on Its to late for me as I have dumped all my VHS tapes (only recorded programs as I do not have any family ones unfortunately) Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) >> I have many VHS tapes that I would like to transfer to medium used on my >> computer such as CD/DVD. >> 1.
