Hi Prashanth,

The simple way is to connect the output of your VHS player into the input of your DVD recorder. Connect your DVD recorder to your TV to monitor what you are doing.

To do it with your computer you need a device like DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can’t remember what it cost but I think it was $39.95.

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

I use a device called Pyro A/V to dump the video and audio from VHS into my computer, and from there I use Nero to turn the movie file into a DVD. Nero costs about $70 and the Pyro costs $120. There are cheaper alternatives - I believe you can buy all-in-one DVD burners and VHS recorders that'lllet you copy from one to the other, but then you have to worry about copy protection on the VHS tapes. With Pyro and Nero it has never been a problem - as long as you have a good video and audio signal in and a Firewire port on your computer to receive the input, you'll have a great working DVD in no time.
