Virgin + recording

Hi All,
Hoping for a bit of advice.

I have a V+ box that has a lot of films on (mostly small people stuff for my daughter). I was wondering whats the best way to get them onto DVD.

I have looked at some DVD burners but they seem incredibly expensive. Can anyone recommend any budget options/brands?

Cheers

    I managed to pick up a Philips DVD recorder off e-bay for £ 26 one Sunday and it records off my V+ no probs

    Mine is a DVDR3305 There is a section on the V+ which allows you to record from it.Have a look at that first.I select the programme on the V+ which i want to transfer,start the DVD and away it goes. On mine the only way to edit the adverts is to pause the DVD when the adverts come on then restart when they finish. Its a bit of a fiddle but it works.

    Ah right. Didn't realise it was that basic, like recording the top 40 on cassette when I was a kid!
