The easier way to back up a VHS tape appears to be using a standalone DVD recorder. However, it is also a less flexible option. Careful research should be done.

if you have tons of vhs's, and with your sistem, a stand alone is the way to go.
spending money on a new sistem, gives you the power of "authoring" those dvd's.....

i whould prefer a new sistem, the stand alone is really limited, not many options.....
