Copying a tape onto a DVD

[Budlet]

Does anyone know who would copy the contents of a VHS tape onto a DVD?

You can do pretty easily yourself if you have a DV camera that will edit. Usually, these will output in digital, real time from an analogue source.
My Sony TRV30 does. Then, you just capture with Pinnacle, Nero, program like that.
Alternatively, there are quite a few companies that offer tape replication services. Check the yellow pages.

Geez that sounds complicated!

It's really not.
Connect the VHS with a S lead or RGB scart to RGB and audio R+L phonos
Connect the DVD cam to PC with firewire
Start everything up, away you go!

Firewire`s are £50.99 from Curry`s for my Canon MV 830 so I`ve got to view my tapes on the camera at that price.

Albags - Am I right in thinking that you suggest to play the DVD while filming it with a camera! Hope you have a steady hand Budlet and don't move for the three hours the tape is playing!

You can still get DVD recorders with built in video recorders. You then just play your video and record onto the DVD.

Or you can plug your VCR into a separate DVD recorder using a scart lead and do it that way.

Another ...

Of course not ..
You play the VCR and capture the digital output from the connected DV Cam at the same time to the PC.
I have done this a lot. Some JVC SVHS players have an edit pause feature that helps, too.
