video to DVD

[User00001]

Does anyone have the ability to copy videos onto DVD? I have some old VHS stalking videos that I would like copying but don't really want to pay £10 each to have it done. I am hoping that someone will do it and make themselves copies at the same time? Thanks, Glyn

I bought a device that you plug into a pc from the player and then burn to DVD as you would normally
used it once and then left it in a safe place
only cost me £15-20 I think

​will see if I can dig it out for you

My laptop doesn't have a DVD drive so I don't think that would work. Also, my video player is ancient so I doubt if the socket and leads are compatible with any modern devices.

Where are you? There's a shop in Builth Wells, Powys that does this.

it uses standard Video output and once on the PC anyone can burn it for you

Thanks, there is one in Swaffham too but they charge quite a bit more than I was hoping to pay.

Look for A Video grabber. You can get them on ebay for less than a tenner. Just create a file and save your video's which you can burn onto disc when you have one or just watch them on your p.c, even the oldest p.c will have a usb port.

Thanks for all the advice. Sorted now. Glyn.

If you get stuck, drop me a PM as I've done a few of these and have the necessary.
