What is best for capturing VHS tapes to my Window XP PC for uploading?

Question

I don't need a TV Tuner, DVD burning, or editing software. Simply want to transfer VCR tapes and analog camcorder tapes to my comp (Windows XP) through a USB for uploading purposes. What product is the best for the least cost?

I know I need a device and I know companies that makes devices. If you have an answer, please give a specific product name. I know how to use Google and have figured out the rest, thanks.

Answer 1

You need a device that will go from the output of your VCR to your USB port. Then you need something like Roxio or some other video software that will "capture" the raw images from the VCR into a .MOV file or some other dvd-compatible file format. Then you can burn to a DVD, or just watch on your computer monitor.

Good luck.
