How to get Camcorder/video camera to dvd?

Question

How do I take a VHS (from a camcorder/video camera) onto dvd? Is there anyone in Australia that provides this service?

Answer 1

The best way is to purchase a DVR.

These are pretty cheap now days.

I have a VHS/DVR recorder and I just plug my video cable into the dvr input,turn on the camera to play,push record on the dvr, and presto my video is transferred to a dvd.

Just remember to finalize the dvd if you plan on playing it on any other dvd player.

Answer 2

If you have an analog (VHS) camcorder…

You need an analog converter, either internal card or external such as the dazzle. It's very easy to use and come with good software. You would hook your analog VHS camera to the analog converter, the dazzle and then hook the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle cost around 70.00 , but worth the money if you have a lot of VHS to tapes to convert.
