    Hi, looking for advice, i have old video camera with tape cassettes, I want to get that video in to computer. have looked over different products, but all of them have bad reviews in one site, or other.
    Looking for some cheap device, as it got to be once or twice job. or is it possible rent one for a day or two ?

    thanks

    If it's something you only need done once you could get someone to do it for you. Takes the hassle out of it for you.

    If you're based in Dublin there's plenty of places that do this sort of thing. The DVD centre certainly put tapes to DVD - you could then rip the files from that or they might digitise it for you if you specified what format you needed it in.

    The simplest thing to do is to connect your VHS to a DVD recorder with a scart lead and just record it. Then you will have the DVD and you can convert it to anything you like.
