VHS to dvd

Options
I have one video I would like to have converted to DVD. I went to a local shop and they want £15 for the first hour and £5 for each hour after that. Think it quite expensive. Are there cheaper alternatives?

    Have you got a DVD recorder, or a friend who would let you use theirs?

    Also is it a home recording or a commercial video? Some have copy protection on them.

    What equipment do you have already?

    VHS player?
    DVD player?
    DVD recorder?

    If you have the VHS player, and a friend has a DVD recorder, you're sorted. Phone a friend.

    I've got the VHS and DVD gear to do it, but I'm at the other end of the country from you, I'm afraid....

    For the money, you could buy a video capture card/usb dongle and do it yourself.
