We're doing that right now, with our wedding video! We had to buy a DVD recorder and connected it to the video with a scart lead. Then, if you set the video playing, the DVD recorder can copy the footage onto the DVD. Instructions which come with the DVD recorder should explain. When you have copied your VHS tapes onto DVD, the recorder can still be used for watching or copying other things you might want to copy from TV and watch later. DVD players are certainly coming down in price and buying one will be a lot cheaper than paying someone to make copies for you.

The way I do it is on a VHS player / DVD recorder machine that I bought at Wal-Mart for under $300. It works well and is the most economical way to get it done. It is a lot of work and time consuming, but the results are very good. I make duplicate copies on my computer software (much faster), but the original I make on the other machine. Good luck - you need to get them transferred because VHS tapes will degrade after a few years.

Think you should have bought a vhs player with a dvd recorder mate. Have you not got a friend with a dvd recorder?

My Dad wanted to do the same thing so he went out and bought a dual DVD Recorder / VHS player - it wasn't too expensive if I remember correctly (sub 200 quid I think). If you can't find anything in your budget you might be able to buy one on Ebay or at a Richer Sounds for less than at Comet etc.
In any case I think it should work out cheaper than getting them professionally coverted.
Good luck!!

Use your computer.
Get a video capture card then record the tape to your hard drive as an avi file.
Then use one of the many free conversion programs to convert the avi file to DVD.

DVD con películas para cualquiera edad en internet, una variedad impresionante. Cualquier madre sabe que la mejor forma de tener a los niños ocupados es ponerlos los dibujos preferido y como casi todas mis DVD-s los he comprado de amazon también he comprado DVD-s con dibujos y son de la mejor calidad que podía pedir.
