I have abut 50 old home movies on Vhs tapes. Is it a major project to convert them to Dvd drives? I have 4 burners, what other equiptment would I need?

not a major project but major time involved for 50 tapes..
Unless you have a dvd Recorder/vhs player you would use an analog video convertor.
Plextor makes an in-expensive convertor for capturing analog video
from camcorders or vcr's into your computer.
below is link.
Converts your video to mpeg2 after which you burn to a blank disk in order to watch it on a set top dvd player or other formats for PC watching or mobile devices..Last edited by rago88; 7 Dec 2007, 01:12 PM. -
Unless you want to create special menus for the dvd's, it might be easier to simply hook up that vcr to a stand alone dvd recorder and dub them over that way. And it wont tie up your pc through 50 vhs tapes!

I was assuming he didn't have one or why else the question...Comment

This sounds good, could you tell me what process is used to transfer, I assume some cable must be used, if so what type?

well,
since the vcr is an analog device,
you would need the standard audio/video cables that have been around since day 1..
red/white/yellow..
red/white is audio.
yellow is video..
or,
If your vcr has it,
you can hook up an S-video cable
with the red/white audio cables.
either set will connect to your dvd recorder and just pop in your vcr tape, push play and push record on your dvd recorder.Comment

Its a better alternative than to capture video and tying up the pc through all those tapes.
You also might consider getting the video stabalizer. See the bottom link in my signature. For under 20 bucks you can stabalize the video signal from the VCR to get the best possible dub since the stabalizer re-generates the video sync and removes any clutter in there that can cause picture rolling or garbled video. It wont improve the video, it will simply stabalize it.
Happy Dubbing!!
