Interesting thought.  I hadn't considered a DVD recorder option.

I tried this last fall with a kit from AVerMedia (their spelling) called 
DVD EZMaker. I wanted to make DVD copies of my son's football tapes to 
send to coaches and to share with his grandparents. I got so fed up that I 
finally went to a camera shop that offered the service and paid them about 
$100 to make one master DVD from about 15 game tapes. 

Now that the prices have come down, why not just go to Circuit City and 
buy a combo VHS/DVD recorder? It'll have jacks in the fron for hooking up 
your camera. That's what I'm going to do once we get unpacked from our 
move last weekend. With a big family room in the new house, my wife has 
finally given me the green light to get some new toys.... :-))

I'm looking at adding video capture to my PC.  Primarily for converting 
old VHS tapes to DVD but also as a means to store current video from a 
digital camcorder to DVD.  I looked at the Dazzle products but most of the 
reviews I read weren't very good.  I don't know if the products are really 
that bad or if it's just a few disgruntled user making a lot of noise.

If anyone has any experience with video capture I'd like to hear you 
recommendations on how to get started.
