This idea has got my attention. I remember such a device from Computer Geeks a
year or so ago. Checking their site I see none available. What combo deck do
you or anyone else recommend?
What are pro's and con's compared to using a Mac based VHS to DVD converter and
using iMovie or other software to do this conversion? It seems there is always
a trade off between the easy and the quick to the more time consuming
alternatives.
Like the OP, I have a project that involves converting VHS tapes to DVD. My
VHS tapes are recently found family history tapes that I would like to convert
send to other family members as DVD's.
Thanks --glen
PS. The most potent Mac I have is a 733 MHz DA. I know video capture requires a
lot of processing power so I may need a faster Mac or a CPU upgrade to do on
the conversion on a Mac. Just another cost factor I need to consider. Your
thoughts?
