Any Ideas?

[unclebob]

Dear Friends,

Here’s the long and the short of it. I want to be able to transfer some family heirloom VHS tapes to DVD’s. I also want to be able to copy some DVD movies to DVD. I gather from questions that I’ve asked that the best way to do that is to copy these mediums to my Hard Drive and then transfer them to a DVD disk. What I believe I need (and you can help me with this) is a DVD +- Burner, something that will enable me to connect my VCR to my computer, and software that will enable me to edit & enhance my VHS tapes and in some cases compress my DVD’s so they will fit on a regular DVD disk (and if you have suggestions on which disks work best, that too). I’m a poor workin stiff so I want the highest quality for the lowest price. If you guys (and girls) have some ideas, some names, and or some prices (and maybe where to purchase) I’d really appreciate them. How to’s will help as well. Whatever you can give me I’ll take.
Thanks
Uncle Bob

Please don't double post.

It can cause undo confusion.

Might want to ask a Mod to delete one of them.

nomaxim,
THis is Uncle Bob. Sorry about the double post, but to be honest I only received 2 replies (one from each post). One of them yours, and the other one from someone telling me his name was Uncle Bob. Neither one of them was of any help.
Where would you suggest I asked this question?
Thanks
Uncle Bob

Well that isn't the way to go about it, you posted another thread when you already asked the same thing and this shows up instead of someones elses post in the recent reply's thus moving them down the list which they could have been helped too, that can lead to a big problem if you don't follow rules.
You don't just post another thread and you posted within 2 minutes if you didn't find the reply's useful then please ask for more information or wait for others to reply, not disrespect them, people will take their time listening to you and writing a reply. you obviously didn't wait long enough at all to let others post, this is in violation of the rules, please respect and follow the rules here, if noone replys in two minutes, then dont worry, not every one is awake at this hour, and it takes time for other users to read and post replys.

Edit:
Take your time to read through the rules and familiarize yourself with the proper forums usage, and etiquette.

What is Proper Forums Usage?

To facilitate the best response to your topic, and to aid in search compatibility, please make the title of your topic subject descriptive as to its relevant content. To avoid confusion and redundancy, do not multiple post your topic in the same forum or to other forums. More than one post on the same topic fosters confusion and is frustrating to those helping to provide solutions and troubleshooting history is broken and difficult to follow. Post your topic once only in the most appropriate forum for the subject matter. Duplicates of posts will be deleted or locked (no further replies are allowed) without prior notice.
