i just recently heard bout the video capture thingy and might think about buying it but then i read some of these posts of the forum and i've heard that you can just buy a DVD recorder and plug it with your vhs player then just record it to a dvd-r disc. Is it true i can do that and what will be the quality of it??? thx

yes it is true. you can purchase a stand alone DVD Recorder, and connect your VHS deck to its video inputs and record directly to DVD from your VHS tapes. The other route is to get a capture card, video editing program, and DVD burner for your computer. The disadvantage of this is that all the equipment and software you'd need probably costs more than a stand alone burner, especially if you want to get good quality equipment (for example adobe premiere costs around $500, although there are more basic editors for cheaper). The upside though is that by recording through your computer you have much more flexibility. Once you capture the footage to your computer, you can edit out commercials, add titles, music, effects, and so on.

So it all depends on what you want to do, your budget, and what you want your final result to be.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

as far as price goes, you will probably get better quality with the direct transfer. you can however get very high quality results with the computer, but the downside is the expensive capture cards and editing software
