I have none COPY write VHS tapes I want to burn to DVD. Is it possible to connect a VHS recorder to a computer? or can anyone point me in the direction of someone who knows?

ThanksTypically, no, although there are a very few few video cards that have RCA input jacks.

The attached link is a RCA to USB converter that will work.

There are also some stand alone combo VHS/DVD units that are made for just what you are wanting to do that are in the $100+ range. If you have a LOT of tapes to transfer that will be the easiest way. Plus, after transferring the tapes you will have a DVD player.In REFERENCE to stand alone combo VHS/DVD units,

here's a llink on some of those. Hopefully they're helpful.

I'm assuming when you said VHS recorder, you mean VCR. Thanks for the info. Been trying to figure out how to do this.

Yes a VCR/VHS tapes.Maybe try a capture card... Those allow you to connect VCR to the computer, so you can capture VHS stuff to your hard drive, which then you can go burn it to DVD or whatever. (More links follow)

Actually, the term VCR refers to several types of video cassette recorders.

Once upon a time there was Beta, which died a slow death.

3/4" VCR's have been around for a long time, first as analog then most were converted to digital.

Plus, there are several subcategories like mini, etc.

VCR, isn't that the common term or what do you call it?

VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is just a generic term that covers several types of video recorders.

VHS is by far the most common type of VCR and most people refer to them as just VCR's even though technically they are VHS VCR's
