Another way to transfer Video to DVD
An alternative to using the PC is a Hard Drive /DVD recorder.
About a year ago I bought a very nice Pioneer combined Hard Drive/DVD/Freeview box which allows recording the output of a VCR via one of the SCART inputs onto the Hard Drive. This can then be edited if necessary (to remove commercials or any unwanted bits) and recorded onto a DVD.
Moved all my old, but wanted VHS stuff with very little effort.
