H there jl2005, welcome to aD,

The first thing is to find a way to get your VHS tapes into the PC. There are 2 ways:

1. A capture card installed into the PC where you can plug RCA wires from your VHS player into the PC.

OR

2. An outside unit that uses a USB cable to connect.

I use the second way myself.

Then play the tape into the computer grab a neat software program such as DivXtoDVD and click one single button and the files are changed from the VHS format into a DVD compliant format and burned in to the waiting DVD disc.

**Of course you have to have a DVD writer. If you need one, one can be had for about $65.00 to $75.00 (USD) for an up-to-date, decent quality new one.

Check out this site for a Instant USB to DVD unit.

That?s what I use and it does great work.
