Question about VHS to PC transfer?

Freebyman

I was thinking about transferring all my old VHS tapes to DVD via my PC, I was wondering if this http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=241937&sourceid=2004

would do the trick, but at the same time what leads from my VHS recorder would I need, it has a SCART output and a left and right (red and yellow) output. Am I right in thinking that a SCART to 3 phono lead converter would work between the above device and my video recorder?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing you need on top of this is a Scart lead with an In-out switch. This is the one I got from Maplin.

I'm not sure why it needs an in/out switch but it won't work with a normal scart lead.

Don't you need software though to write the content to DVD in the correct format?

The Kworld one has all the software you need but if you have another video-editing programme you can use that instead.

Thanks for all your replies, just popped down to Maplins, got the same advice there so now all I need to do is find the cheapest Dazzle DVD Recorder and some scart to 3 phono leads!
