Hi Guys,
I just thought that i would ask I have some old Family Video Tapes and i wondered is it possible to get old video format onto dvd discs, or os it better to sent to profesionals to do it and if so how much would it cost ??

An old DVD recorder would do the job simply...I'm sure you could pick up one on eBay for pittence, connect the VHS to the recorder and you're all set to record to DVD while the tape is playing,
if you want to connect to a PC you'll need a VIVO graphics card (Video In Video Out) or a 3rd party go between box and appropriate software...a bit more complicated but obviously you have a lot more control!
How many do you have needing conversion?
hi sandman,

thanks

you can get them....Toshiba DVR20 DVD & VHS Recorder with Freeview | eBay
If you've quite a few then the cost per conversion wouldn't be too bad!
That's definitely the easiest option....PC options would be a fair bit cheaper but would involve a bit more tweaking!
do you know any places that may do this for me and cost wise maybe better to do it that way ??

Looking online, if you have 10 or more to convert it would be as cheap to buy this and do it yourself!
Here is another cheaper option, i have a friend who used one like this to do exactly what your looking for.
Hi Ten,

i never seen or used one carmine though i'd guess that you plug the vcr output into that device ! and the device into your Pc and IT will convert the vcr(video)(pal i 625) into some kind of modern AV file that a program on your pc like windows meadia file can play back ! Having gone down that route i expect you can then play those files via your enigma box too !
