First of all you need to make sure the tapes are your personal home movies....

Once that is confirmed then we won't have any worries about Macrovision or Copyright issues.

You will need one of a couple different setups.

1) USB video capture hardware.
2) Video card with a TV input on it.

Either way you go, it's been my experience that it takes a great deal of computing power to be able to capture a quality image.

Uhh...

Get a RCA cable, plug the VCR into the DVD recorder. Set the time mode, press Record.
And I will say that there's a way around Macrovision, though I think it's against the rules to discuss it so that's all I'll say.

My bad! I thought he was referring to a DVD burner.

Yep, it's just that easy, RCS cable to the recorder and set the correct input.

I bought The Bronx Tale, I own it legally, I would like to make a back-up, I have purchased a stabilizer, Have an S Video cable, Rca cable, what is the best hook-up? Also do I need to be hooked up to a TV in order for this to work?
