I have a laptop, and i have a bunch of movies on vhs that me and friends have made that i would like to have on a dvd. How do i go about doing this?.....what equipment will i need and what kind of software will i need to make like a dvd type movie myself? I would like to have software where i can make my own menu and other stuff you would see on a regular dvd.

You would need a capture card. Pinnacle makes nice ones you can pick up. They would usually have a USB version of this. You would also need to have plenty of hard drive space. I am not 100% sure on what type of format it gets formatted when you capture the VCR recordings, but I think it does it in a raw format that requires alot of disk space. The better the quality of the video, the more disk space will be required. After you have captured it to your hard drive, you can start creating DVDs from them. Good luck and have fun with your capturing.

Get K-World's DVD Maker for $40 USD. This is a USB capture device, hopefully this will work using the microphone input to the laptop! You need to use an audio input plug with these devices as well as an USB plug. Check with K-World first.

You'll want to be looking at something like the Pinnacle Studio USB 500. It comes with a USB capture card and the award-winning Pinnacle Studio 10.5 software. It comes highly recommended from many people I know.

pinnacle t.v tunner card alows to read inputs from vcrs..capture cards are expensive..while t.v tunner cards are not..
and when burning them to dvd..burn it in divx format so tat u have better image quality and sound quality at reduced size..

you would want a Video Editor application with a seize characteristic on it. i trust WMM has that capacity yet have under no circumstances used that application for that. i exploit SYNET HT for all of my clips transferred from my video digital camera.
