I want to convert my old wedding tape into a DVD. Is there a way I can do that or do I need to take it to a professional? Also, how would I find the right professional to do this? If I look this up in the yellow pages what do I look under?

There are several ways to do this, but probably should take it to a professional since they have the setup already and don't charge to much.
You can take the output from a VCR and tie it to the inputs on your computer. Depending on your computer setup, you might need to get an analog to digital conversion device (and electronics store sells them.)
Another way is to attach you VCR to a DVR (like a VCR, but uses DVDs). These are also available at any electronics or department store. You might find a friend who already has one and can do this for you. Then just record the data directly to disk. If you have one that has a hard drive, you can dump it to the hard drive and do simple editing as well. This is the approach I use for converting home movies.

Some photo developing places can do it for you. You might just have to look around.
Have you tried looking for VHS to DVD on a search engine and look for companies in your area.
Otherwise, do you know anyone who has a DVD recorder. You can hook the VCR up to the DVD recorder and do it that way but the quality won't be as good if you don't get a professional to do it.

There are quite a few out now. I have a Panasonic, but if you goto any electronics reviewing or bestbuy/circuitcity type site and look at the DVD recorders there will be 5 or 6 that are combo drives. And it does go VHS-->DVD, but it is real time so takes a while no high-speed dubbing yet i believe

They make a machine that can do this. Don't know where to get one, however.
There are probably people in your community that can do it. I'd suggest looking in the yellow pages under photography - I remember taking 8mm films to one and had them transfer it to VHS.

Take it to any photo lab. I believe WalMart Photo even does it. I know the Eckerd Drug stores Photolabs around here do it.

Get a combination VCR/DVD recorder and you should be in business.
