Spoke to a mate, and he says its real easy, so long as you have the right gear.

first you need a way of transfering the media from vhs to your pc. apparently you need a TV Card for this, available for a few quid off That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds.

Once you have the tv card, you need the software to record whats coming thru the tv card. This software is available from www.download.com, but obviously the better programs cost money. if your 'mate' wants to pay thats fine, if not, some come with a 30 day trial, so not a bad deal if you know what you want done and have them ready :-)

Now, depending on the program you download to 'rip' the vhs tape, you may need a conversion program that will convert the recorded footage from the current form (normally .avi) to a dvd readable format. Programs like Nero 7 and Dvd Santa do all this fairly easily, with just a few clicks of the mouse.

But, as mentioned before, a few more quid spent will get you the software that will rip the vhs tape and write it straight to dvd, but it depends how much you want to spend.

If you need any further advice, i'll pass your contact details over to my friend who will talk you thru the process, otherwise simply typing 'vhs to dvd' in a web browser will bring up many results of companys willing to do the conversion for you for as little as £4.99 per tape.

I hope this was of some help,

Mr Darn.

i personally would get it done professionally for peace of mind and it will probably work out cheaper. plus they'll be responsible if the tape breaks while transferring it!
