Video to DVD

[gumby]

I have an older(non digital) camcorder that I am able to run off on to VHS tapes. I have a DVD Burner in my PC but don't know how to use it. Can I buy a cable that adapts from a VCR to a USB port? If there is such cable, what software is good for this? Can I buy the same cable to adapt from my video camera to my PC??

TIA

Do you have a place on your camera that you can plug into....I have some cables that might work....I have software too....I don't have a DVD burner though....Stop by sometime and we'll see what we can do....I can get it from my camera to the computer but I can't burn DVDs....

You'll need some type of video capture card in order to get it to DVD. Then you just hook up the VCR to the card using the RCA jacks. Powerdirector is a decent pretty user friendly program to help edit/burn your video to DVD.

Capture card

Yes. Sparky is right. You need to install an "all-in-one" audio/video card. Be sure to double check that it has INPUT capability. Many of the audio/video cards out there are mainly for output only, such as to a TV and you don't realize that it doesn't input. Once you have that capability, the rest is easy.
