What is the best way to convert vhs to cds?

Answer 1

Hi Judi,

You need a DVD recorder.

Plug the output of your VHS into the Input of your DVD recorder and you can copy your VHS tapes.

Answer 2

hmmm well you would need a DVD recorder, or have a VCR and the equitment to hook it up to you PC and burn it on to the DVD.

DVD recorder would be the easiest though

Answer 3

If you are wanting to make a CD, you could make what is called a video CD.  The video is compressed down to fit on a CD.  The problem with this is the resulting video quality will be very poor.  Since VHS video quality is already poor, this could be really bad.  I would recommend converting the video to a DVD using a DVD recorder or a computer with a DVD burner and a video capture device.

Answer 4

If your VHS tapes are home movies then you can get a VHS to DVD recorder (copyrighted VHS tapes won't work in these) or you can get an analog converter such as the dazzle. You would hook your VCR or your vhs camcorder to the dazzle and then from the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle comes with some good software.
