| Converting VHS to DVD
Hey guys,
It just recently dawned on me that I should get all my oldschool VHS tapes of me when I was young transferred over to DVD before they start to wear out completely ... thing is I have no idea where to start or how to get it done. 
I've googled a couple sites and some shops specialize in doing that service locally but they are all pretty darn expensive... I have quite a few tapes I want done.
What solution do I have for this? Am I suppose to just goto Future Shop or Best Buy and buy one of those VHS/DVD Recording units to do myself?... is that the most ideal way?
Please advise! Thanks!

I assume you already have a VCR, so in that case, just get yourself a dvd recorder. Hook the vcr into the dvd recorder inputs and click record, pretty simple. The unit below will do the job. If you really want to save money and there's no use for the unit, just sell it back out. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...a8c8150a49en02
Another option is to get a video card with video capture. hook up vcr and audio to sound card.

Found something even cheaper http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...fCjCVqHCjCdwwp
