I need to transfer my VHS-C tapes to a computer to edit and put on DVD, but i no longer have the video camera?

You can hook a VCR to your computer with an analog converter. Instructions ANALOG *If you have an analog (VHS) camcorder… or VHS-c... You need an analog converter, either internal card or external such as the dazzle. It's very easy to use and come with good software. You would hook your analog VHS camera or VCR to the analog converter, the dazzle and then hook the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle cost around 85.00 , but worth the money if you have a lot of VHS to tapes to convert. Anytime you convert analog to digital, you will lose quality, but loss of quality is better than losing all those old memories. The capture is done in real time, so an hour tape will take an hour to download. You will open your editing program and capture the video. Google video transfer in UK.

Thinking outside the box - you DON'T have a video player any more? I guess that means you DO HAVE a DVD recorder. VHS recorders can be bought for just a few pounds and all have phono/SCART output connections. All DVD recorders have phono/SCART input connections. Spend maybe £20 on a VHS player and £5 on the leads (Maximum) connect the output from the VHS to the input connections on the DVD, put the tape into the shell adaptor and record them direct to DVD. Once on DVD there's plenty of software to rip the files to your mac and, at that point you have a backup of the original without degrading further by the use of software!

You may use the best software I have seen AVS Video Tools. It can convert to/from all key format, upload video or DVD directly to key portables like iPod, Sony PSP, Archos, Zen Creative, and mobiles. It can capture video from DV or webcams, TV tuners, DVB-T, DVB-S, transfer VHS tapes to DVD, remove commercials, edit video, copy and burn DVDs and video files: AVI (DivX, XviD, etc.), MP4, WMV, 3GP, 3G2, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, DVD, VOB, VRO, MPEG 1,2,4, MPG, DAT, VCD, SVCD, ASF, H.263, H.264, RM, DVR-MS.
