    Hi
    Yes, borrow that combi machine.

    You could just record only the parts of the tape that you need onto a DVD disc.

    Otherwise, as you say, record the tape onto a DVD-RW disc.
    Then finalize it!
    Then 'rip' the RW disc onto your hard drive as a file.
    Then edit the file.
    Then author it as a DVD and burn it to a DVD+/-R disc.

    It sounds like one hell of a job.
    But if the VHS tapes are your wedding videos etc, or if they're movies that aren't released on DVD, then I suppose it's worth it.

    Good luck
    :cool:
