I'm looking for some advice because I don't have much experience in the whole tv tuner area. What I want to do is convert my vhs tapes to dvds. I want to use my PC so that I can author the vhs tapes, add menus, cut out damaged sections of video from the tapes degrading, etc. What would you guys recommend would be best for accomplishing this task? I was looking at some of the Hauppauge products and they seem pretty decent.

This one seems nice, but I really don't know what I am looking for I guess.

I know you need software to author the video and I already have that(thanks to a friend). I just need a way to get the tapes converted to a video format on my computer.

Thanks.

That should get the job done for you, I have the USB version I use to record some shows between my laptop/desktop.

If you're not going to be recording or viewing TV through your PC, you don't really need a TV tuner card. If all you're trying to do is capture video, then you could get an ATI VIVO (video in, video out) capable video card. Upgrade opportunity!

Unless you are like me and bought the video-out only version, like a retard...
