I want to convert my VHS tapes to DVD but don't have a clue where to
start. I have tried reading tutorials but they don't make sense to me
since I am not all that computer savvy. All I know is that I need an
analog capture device and I don't even know what that means or how to
use it. I do not have a DV camera. Can someone out there walk me step
by step thru how this is done?

the (analog capture device) is a tv tunner card or usb plug. you plug
the usb into your system.then take the ( ontput cable) from your vhs
player and it go's to the input of your tunner card . some tunner cards
are (pci cards) that you need to open your case and install it to your
motherboard. thay should come with software to get you up and running.

If your main goal is to make DVD copies
of your VHS home movies...you don't need
a computer. A DVD Recorder may be worth
a look.

Install to motherboard? I wouldn't know how to begin to do that. In your
opinion, would transfering VHS to DVD be too techincal for someone like
me, who knows nothing about the inside workings of my pc?

There are many other manufacturers, but they all look much the same. It's a
USB device, so there is no need to open the case. It will be supplied with
software that enables you to capture the video in a file, and will have full
instructions for capturing. Once you have the video in digital format then
you can do what you want with it. Your VCR will have a composite output, and
possibly S-video as well - use S-video if available.

installing to the motherboard is just opening the case and putting the
tunner card in a pci slot . but with the (usb tunner) like this one you
just plug it in and install the
drivers and software.

you can use the dvd aswell, just put the vcr cable output to the dvd
input and the dvd output to your tv.
