For a while now I have wanted to copy my VHS videos and home video 8mm HI 8 tapes onto CD or DVD.

 

Initially I was going to buy a new PC and use a Canopus ADVC-100 video capture device, which is highly rated, to do the conversions.

 

However this is an expensive route for what will be mostly a one-off exercise. It occurred to me that I should be able to make good copies of my VHS and 8mm tapes using a recordable DVD player.

 

Does anyone know if this is a good way to do it?

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

I know it can be done, but don't know about the quality. Of course it can't be any worse than VHS anyway right? At least by turning them into DVDs you'll be saving space.

 

One of my friends and I researched value for money on these. This one has a time delay function so you can start watching the program before it has finished recording it. You'll pay more for a hard drive but the majority of options they have do not really increase.
