Default VHS to DVD recorder

Anyone have one of these things? I was thinking of buying one since I don't have a digital camcorder and I have lots of good VHS videos. Which is a good one to get and whats a good price?

buy a TV tuner for the PC instead, that way you can capture/EDIT/CREATE a dvd of your liking.

Yea i have a video card for my computer that has a rf and rca adapters and a dvd burner so I just hook the vcr to the comp and record the video then burn it, I guess one of those machines would save a step...Just buy a digital camera or call me i have one and I don't use it to much so you could borrow it

I hate borrowing things, you never have it when you need it. You want to sell it to me?

Basically it lets you watch/record TV on your computer (You can get software to use it like Tivo to record your favorite shows without the monthly service fee ) And some of them also have an RCA video input which is great for hooking up VCRs camcorders, surveillance cameras, etc. Here's a link to almost the exact same one that I have:

get something with the ATI Theatre 550pro, you dont need an entire video card. go to www.ncix.com and look around. a good one can be had for ~80 US. + shipping.

(i think that x1300 AIW comes w/ the 550pro chip, but you dont need a $400 video card)

but a tuner card won't get you the same quality video as a tivo or dvr. i was lookin into doin that with an old desktop pc i have. but i got a dvr instead with dish network.
