Hi Rick... My good friend who has dissappeared on vacation mentioned to me that he bought something for 30 dollars to transfer the tapes. I wasn't interested because my 4 year old viao does it ......... so as soon as I get a hold of him I will let you know if you can wait. If you have a newish pc maybe its built in. My daughter just bought a pc that does everything but closets. On my pc all I did was connect the vcr to the pc which does you no good. I believe you might need a certain video card if its not built in. Ema This question was asked quite awhile ago on this list, and in the archives I found the below response; however, the name of such a device was not provided. We would appreciate knowing the type of device to search for on the web. TIA Rick

Thanks for the offer of help. This computer is from June '04, so I don't think the necessary conversion item is built in; however, I will ask my son to be sure. I look forward to hearing from you. Thirty dollars sounds good!
