1. How can I put my home movies I have on VCR tapes to a DVD Disc?? 2. How do I put my recordings of my Sony Hi8/Digital8 onto a DVD disc?? Now if there is free programs out there I can do it with....well i'll go that route. I am not a rich man. Or if there is a semi-cheap way of doing it..please let me know. I just want to move them all to DVD discs. I got a TSSP DVD R/RW in my laptop. Thank You in advance.

This is a great project and should be fun and easy. Based on your notebook and PC specs I guess you will need additional hardware to "capture" the video from your VCR and Hi8 tapes. If by "semi-cheap" you mean less than $100 then here are a couple of good-quality video capture devices than you can try: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...t&productCategoryId=cat01054&id=1095941349358 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...t&productCategoryId=cat01054&id=1142291505775 Each one comes with video editing software as well as DVD authoring software which should be easy for beginners. Good luck!
