I have a bunch of old VHS tapes that I want to edit and turn to DVDs but the
Vista version does not have the direct capability. Can anyone recommend an
analogue to DV converter that I can get that is compatible with Vista.

The Canopus line is top notch.

I've just done several VHS to DVD using a procedure described in the Vista
help pages. I borrowed my sons digital camcorder and played the vhs tapes
into the camcorder with the camcorder connected via I-link to the computer.
Quite easy and good results.

What has been working for me: I bought a combination VCR/DVD Recorder
(Recorder, *not* just a VCR/DVD player). I put a VHS tape in the VCR tape
deck, a blank DVD in the DVD tray, and set up a dubbing session; very slick
and trouble free. The tape contents are copied and converted to digital
format on the DVD. I can then copy the DVD files to my computer via the
DVDRW drive.

Thanks Adam. I live in Abu Dhabi but was able to get a Caminus ADVC-300
delivered here from Dubai. It took a little while but it is working great.
Thanks for the advice.

Hi Tim, I bought the Dazzle Platinum from Pinnacle also. I downloaded the
driver from their site. However whenever I select the Dazzle as my input
device I get a blue screen and my puter restarts. Do you have any ideas on
this problem?? Thank you

I used the VCr/Recorder combo as well but I hate the Menus the recorder used.
I've got the DVD I can move the files to my hard drive but don't know what to
do after that.

I'm just about where you are. Windows movie maker dosen't support AC3 audio
that my recorder produces. I don't think you can edit in media center?? Not
sure where to go next. Looking at Roxio media creator 10?? Anybody have any
ideas?? All help appreciated.

How do you put VHS on DVD from your computer? I would LOVE to do this!! But
never knew I would be able to do it. Please, if you would, let me know how!

Thanks.
