I have a lot of videocassettes that i want to convert to dvd to preserve them, some are from when we were kids; also i have a lot of cassette tapes and i wonder if they too can be converted to a dvd or cd format. my late father and grandmother are featured in these tapes and they contain a lot of family history. I heard that getting an s-video cable might do this, but perhaps if someone knew of a website that could show me step by step how to connect up and use the set-up would be great. I am by no means a computer technician but with simple terminology and instructions I might be able to make this work.

You need to convert the VHS signal into one that your computer can read. To do this you need a special card that receives such signals. âATI All in one Radonâ or some of the products produced by âWin TVâ. The ATI card is more expensive, but it has the signal processing system integrated into the card, however that limits the capability of the video card a little. The Win TV basic card will give you the capability, but it will be a pretty poor image (I used to have one, to do exactly what you want to do, and it didn't work). The higher end Win TV cards might do better. Ideally you want one that can receive the same signals that your Cable TV sends.
Normally your computer is only equipped with OUTPUT jacks, it sends the sound to the speakers and a special video signal to the monitor. As signal that has little to do with the way TVs and VCRs handle their video signal. The audio signal is handled in a similar fashion, but unless you have a high-end audio card then you will only have a single mono input jack. If you use that jack then you lose any stereo you had on your VHS tapes.
The VHS signal is closer to an analog signal when compared to how a DVD signal is, so you have to convert the VHS signal into a television signal, then you can carry it over standard RCA lines or a S-Cable and standard RCA audio lines. Then you need to connect these cords to the INPUT jacks on the computer card. Then you can read that television signal and record it on the DVD Player in an analog or digital format. Remember, that a copy is only as good as the original so the simplest format you can use will be good enough.
The new generation of DVD players have a record capability. I am waiting for the price to go down before I try any conversion routine. I think that for what you plan you need to look into Recording DVD Players. They will take the same signal that your VCR already uses and accept it to record on the DVDs, with less conversion their will be less static and noise created in the recording process.

Toshiba DVD recorder?
nerdychick
I am thinking of purchasing a Toshiba DR410 1080p Upconverting Tunerless DVD Recorder. Just a few questions I want to know the answer to (it doesn't have to be about this model, but Toshuba DVD recorders in general):
Does it come with all of the required cables to hook it up to VCRs and DVRs?
How long does it last for before it dies or needs a new battery?
How simple is it to set up and operate?
Will it work with TVs and systems that are not also Toshiba brands?
Answer
this is base on dvd recorders in general:
yes dvd recorders should have required cables for input/output
dvd recorders have internal power supplies you just have to plug into the wall
if you've set up a vcr or a dvd player then its as simple as plugging it in the middle
and you should be able to use any tv with with any brand of recorder.
