As I can tell, most of you don't answer the "VHS" queries, but instead of simply getting a dvd to hdd, how 'bout a vhs to hdd? any clues??????????
You will need some kind of capture device to do that. Read the threads under Video Capturing From Analog Sources your question has been answered many times before. You will find all of your answers there even to questions you hav'nt even thought of yet.
framit: Ok, thanks for the tip, haven't seen or even heard of those yet, but will be looking for them
