First you need a DVD burner on your laptop. Or buy a USB external DVD burner, about $150. Then you'll have to buy a device that is like a converter. My son uses a 'Dazzle' converter. About $80 at Best Buy. Comes with software and you are set.

CD/DVD burners cost about $70.00 here. But, I assume you have one in your laptop since you didn't ask. If you do not have a DVD burner and don't have the funds, you can still make DVD's which are stored to your computer, you just can burn them to disc. You will need an analog (your VHS) to digital (your computer) converter. I also have one from Dazzle who offers many in different price ranges. You may be looking at $75 to $150 for theirs. The good thing about it is it will come with all the software to burn DVD, VCD, MPEGS, and a few others depending on the device you purchase. You should go to a discount electronics store or check on ebay to determine what to buy. After that, it is simple. Watch the tutor and you'll be burning in no time.
