Video to DVD

Lara

We have several family videos that we would like to transfer to DVD.

We would also like to make a DVD from various videos for a family member as a momento of a family ocassion.

We have a DVD player but it doesn't record. We don't have a VHS anymore.

Is the best way to do this to purchase a DVD recorder and VHS combi please?

If this is the case does it matter if we don't go for a hitech spec one?
Many thanks.

I'd have a look on e-bay or somewhere and try and pick up a cheap 2ns hand basic VHS player or recorder. Then use this:

It's very simple and straight forward to use and then when the videos on on your PC hard drive then you can edit them.

imho

I would borrow someones VHS player.Jumble sale near me sells video players for £10,all checked and working.
I wouldnt buy a VHS/DVD combi. I always think there is more to go wrong with these combi's
