I might have asked this before, but, here goes:

What is the best (your recommendation) for transferring VHS video to DVD?

Thanks!

If you can find a used Canopus ADVC 100 it should work but you need a fire wire port...

Wallace -

See my post in this thread... Should be a pretty decent wrap-up.

https://www.curtpalme.com/forum_archived/viewtopic.php@t=25440.html

If you have lots of tapes and don't need to do any editing, get a set-top DVD recorder. There's only one A/D conversion and one encode (to MPEG-2) that way.

If you only have a few tapes, and you want to fool around with editing on the computer the Canopus is a good way to go.

Cheers,
SC

I was just doing this, this past weekend. I used a video stabilizer box ( because the VHS tape was from 1987 ) and a Magnavox DVD recorder.

Thanks for the responses; more are welcomed.

Yep, I just need to transfer from VHS to DVD; no editing.

Steve or Jeremy, do either of you know if there are any lip sync issues with a set-top model (or like the one you refer to from WalMart)?

no lip sync issues on anything I've copied. I took that on vacation last summer to copy my Hi8 stuff as I shot it.
