I thought that maybe some of you may have copied your old vidios to a CD and was wondering the best way to go about it. I see you can buy a combo machine from LG but thought there may be a cheaper alternative. Thanks, Phil

I bought a do-hicky called an "EasyCap." One end plugs into the back of a standard VCR, the other into your PC. It has an editing function where you can cut out adverts (if your video has been recorded from a commercial station) and you can add sound tracks, edit the recording and all sorts of marvellous things. The postage cost more than the item itself at around $15 all up
One day I'll have to try and find time to see if it works

Yes I purchased an Easy Cap, about $15 free delivery. Supposed to work on XP,Vista, Windows 7. No it doesn't seem to work. But I have an LG DVD recorder/ VCR player combo, this copies Videos to DVD quite well.

Unless of course you use VCD format, or convert your video to mpeg or AVI and store it on a CD. In fact, many pirated videos of recent release movies can be found online in mpg or avi format that will fit onto a CDR disc (or 10 to 11 movies on a dual layer DVD), although you wouldn't download them as it is illegal and these sites/networks are rampant with viruses and malware .
If you have a digital video camera with an AV input, you can use this to take the output from the VCR, put it through the video camera and convert it to a digital format type dependant on your camera, which can then be stored on any storage media of suitable size, or converted to any required video format.
