Good device for transferring VHS to DVD on PC

[ericlhamilton]

I’m looking to copy mostly home videos and back up some older videos from VHS to PC. I need to choose an internal PC card or USB device that I can dub without having to mess with a lot of settings. I also understand some devices have an issue with the audio and video not being in sync.

How about Hauppauge or Pinnacle DVD Recorder or Video Recorder?

I’ve also got a Sima Video Copymaster to defeat macrovision that goes between the VCR and capture device (used to be another VCR), if it should be necessary.

I just want it to dub. I don’t have any interest using it for TV tuning.

How many tapes do you have and did you wish to archive them as they are or edit and make menus.
I've been doing this for years and end up with a dvd recorder and taking the discs to a pc and using TMPG author to edit and make menus, if you have any recordings which are poor then the copymaster may help or just see what a good dvd recorder makes of them, as I've said in many posts the Panasonic dvd recorder/vhs combos with diga make a good stab at getting the best out of your tapes.
