How do I convert VHS to dvd?

with an analog to digital video capture card. There are cheap  and very expensive cards, depending on the use you're aiming at. What this card does is that you connect your VHS player on it via video and audio input jacks and it records in real time the video on your hard drive, in many formats (usually avi or mpeg). Mind you for better results you need to have a good processor, plenty of RAM and HDD space.\nCheck Pinnacle cards, they range from very cheap to pro gear. \n\nAfter capturing you'll need some software to convert the videofile on your HDD to DVD format. Have a look on the web for such suites.

There are a couple of steps to that. Typically you need to convert from your avi files (probably divx or xvid encoded) to mpeg-1 or -2, and then from mpeg to the dvd video format. It takes a bit of time to do. Doom9 is the best place to look for instructions on how to do this.

You need a input video card which is not "common" on most computer. I don't know any DVD player that would burn DVDs from VHS. A local computer store will help you to get the appropriate hardware but expect about 100$ or so if you have to get new hardware and installation. Ask where you bought your computer ! Maybe you have this option already

Try doing this.\n\nDownload and install a software called winavi converter.\nUse this converter to convert your video file.A single vob file without any IFO and BUP file cannot be burnt to a video dvd.\n\nI think you are using a normal video converter.Like imtoo mpeg encoder.Please email me with a better idea of your problem.

Pop the DVD into your comp....look at the file extensions for the video files....i forget what some of them are.  then google "[extension] to .avi converter"\nfor example, if the extension is .abc then you'd googe ".abc to .avi converter"\nYou'll find ones you might have to pay for, but there are free converters.  I guess you want avi so you can edit them or cut scenes out and make something out of the eps?\nIf your going to just view them, no real need to bust your balls(or boobs) to convert...

If your desire is to convert the AVI files to a DVD-related file structure for the purpose of playback on a conventional DVD standalone player, do the following:\n\n1. Convert the AVI/mpeg file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file(s) using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) form the "Project Wizard" to help you accomplish the task.\n\n2. Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to author the newly created mpeg-2 into a DVD-related file structure (.IFO, .BUP, .VOB). As an alternative, you can use "DVDLab" to author as well.\n\n3. If the combined filesize of the project exceeds 4.37 Gig, use "DVD Shrink" or similar transcoding program to compress.\n\n4. Use "Nero" or similar burning program to burn onto a DVD (r, rw) disk.

Try the guide on http://www.ePodSupport.com .   IF the files are already on your computer, skip Step 2 and downloading DVD Shrink.  If your videos are on DVD, follow all steps.  IF your files are on VHS, you need to go to Radio Shack and buy a digitizer first.

You could try just playing them from a DVD player and recording them onto (S)VHS and then dubbing that to DV. After that, a simple import into your computer, and...\n\nIf you're just doing a simple compliation reel, both Microsoft and Apple have video editing (simple - cuts-only) stuff which is either available free from their website, or might already be installed on your computer.\n\nBarring that - you might want to try some of the Adobe software, or check some "bonus" CDs which you may get with a sound card, video card, DVD player, external hard drive... (these guys frequently come with el-cheapo video editing systems... they're cheasy, but easy to use, and, like I said - free!)\n\nHope that helps!

if it is in bin/cue format you could modify the cue file to make it a dvd file but easiest cheapest and simplest is to just  use poweriso / magic iso or evem winzip and winace or any iso program to extract the file onto your harddrive there will be about 4 folders for a vcd then just use nero or even the built in windows burner to burn the files onto your dvd . hey presto no getting new software that your not used to and especially no long file conversion times.

LITE-ON is the best.  QVC(www.qvc.com) has a great one I just purchased that uses ANY DVD Disc, doesn't matter if it's - or +, etc.  and comes with a VHS so you can immediately convert all your old tapes over to DVD before you lose them.  If you haven't heard of LITE-ON, look them up.  They are the "no name" supplier to the BIG NAME dudes like Sony, Pioneer, etc.
