I have some VHS tapes that I want to transfer to DVD. (I will not be recording from TV.) I have researched this on the Net, and a popular solution seems to be a stand-alone device.
I have been looking at ADS Tech's DVD Express. Comments are both positive and negative. The commentaries say that it runs hot, but that can be corrected by turning it over and putting a glass of ice on it.
If I were to go the PCI card route, one recommendation is a V-Stream Xpert DVD Maker 883 PCI card: which can capture, author, and burn any videos from any video source such as DVD Player / VCD / VHS /Camcorder - and can Direct-Burn to DVD without any extra HD space by using CyberLink PowerProducer Gold.
Another possibility is the Kworld VS-LTV883D Xpert DVD Maker PCI card. The software is included and can load the VHS onto the computer, edit it, and then burn to DVD - or burn directly from VHS to DVD.
Any thoughts or recommendations? Best wishes Robert Turnbull, Toronto, Canada
