decent dvd recorder for.... cheap

[zamac_man]

I am tired of trying to work with my video capture card, plus I got a different camera to recored videos. Now I am just wanting to back up old vhs and 8mm tapes.

I already have a vhs player and an 8mm camera. So can I just buy a dvd recorder and capture video from vhs player/8mm camera to the dvd?

I have not done much searching but I would like something cheap, really below 100 but I don't want garbage either.

edit: the reviews on MWR10D6 look nice

Yes, you can. Most of us seem to be using the Panasonics or Pioneers (Not sure if they are sold now). A HD model is worth the extra money.

Fill in pc specs
What slot is card installed into , could be cause of problems

Count pci slots down from agp

And print like

pci1 - none
pci2 - ads
Pci3 - none

Full motherboard includes pci4 and pci5

Pci4 - other
pci5 - other

Do you have the original software ?

Vhs to 8mm tapes / dvd recorder might require whats called a video stabilizer .

HD for just recording vhs and 8mm/hi8 tapes?

are there dvd recorders that come with built in stabilizer? This is for home video stuff. Will i still need it?

pci1 - audigy 2zs
pci2 - none
Pci3 - ads ptv 305 (think thats what it is called)

Pci4 - none
pci5 - none

intel 2.4c, asus p4p800 1gig pc3200.

I just can't get the results I want. I went cheap on my card so that is probably the problem

I think hard drive was meant not high definition.
