I have a bunch of home videos (VHS, 8mm, and 8mm Digital) that I would like to transfer to DVD. I have an Alienware P4 2.8 with 1GB Ram and Windows XP Pro. I am looking at the GoVideo VR5940 DVD Recorder +VCR to do the initial capture and then I would transfer the .VOB file to my computer for editing. What I am looking for are recommendations for the following: 1) Tape transfer hardware options (i.e how I get the video onto the computer like the VR5940) 2) Video file editing and DVD burning software 3) DVD burner (yep my computer doesn't have a DVD Burner just a DVD reader). 4) Anything else that might be needed to do this the easiest
I am not wanting to become a professional quality videographer but would like to produce some reasonably decent DVDs (primarily to preserve the VHS tape content)
Thanks very much for any suggestions. Rick Anderson
TMPGEnc DVD Author to edit and burn. As far as recorders seperates are far better than combos, Go Video being at the bottom of the barrel. Remember you get what you pay for.
