A DVD recorder will get better MPEG encodes than most capture devices out there today. A little tougher than recording directly to a decent DVD recorder is capturing with a capture device such as the mentioned Canopus.

fairly easy - I don't want to become a pro - easier the better That's not unreasonable, unless 'easy' gets so easy that you end up where you are now.

Maybe something like Cyberlink's PowerDirector can kind of bridge the gap you have of needing to edit and maybe convert captured videos, but I do all this stuff using free tools and my way is complicated, so I can only offer PowerDirector as a vague suggestion.ĥ. That meets your requirement for future proofing, but H.264 is not valid for DVD, so you'll have to convert the videos to MPEG-2 so you can make DVDs. Some of the better video capture cards now only can record in H.264.

If you want to record to your PC first and edit there, you can do it, but it becomes a lot more time consuming and less easy.

I think one of their models still has limited editing capabilities.

Magnaovox pretty much is the only company left in the DVD recorder market in the USA/Canada. I don't want to overwhelm you with techno-stuff, but there is a problem you can have with VHS tapes and it can only be solved by putting a device between the VCR and DVD recorder. If you really want it easy above everything else, then buy a standalone DVD recorder and connect your VCR to it. Decide what is the most important to you. If you want a lot of editing control, then it becomes a whole let less easy and a whole more 'You've gotta learn a bunch of stuff to do this'. If you want #5 then #2 and #3 are less reasonable goals. To be blunt and hopefully helpful, your goals are a bit contradictory. That's why I simply cannot take a company seriously that calls itself Honestech. In life, I've noticed that the more people tell you that they are X, making sure that all the time they tell you just how X they are, the odds are really good that they are not X at all. Yes, we have had people who post here about their crap asking various questions about it, but none of our experienced users use their stuff. I've never bought anything from Honestech nor would I. Given the 5 'goals' I listed above, 'what should I buy?'īefore giving you some suggestions, I'm going to say something that you should consider for the future. I don't want to troubleshoot what didn't work for me with the honestech product. I would like to steer this thread back on to the real question. Thank you very, very much for your advice. I also recently picked up a phillips DVP3355v VCR, that I could return having not used it yet. Maybe ~$500? Especially if it made things easier. I am not sure what I would be willing to budget.

fairly easy - I don't want to become a pro - easier the better dvd creation - I would like to be able to create dvds from edited video to give to parents / siblingsĥ. basic editing - I would like to be able to extract or cut out portions occasionallyĤ. digital archival - I would like to save in a future-ready formatģ. I tried Honestech vhs to dvd and saw a big quality drop.Ģ. OK quality - I would like it somewhat near the source quality - I don't need the best. I have 40+ vhs, and 40+ other mixed type old camcorder tape styles(I still have the original camcorders for these) I would like to convert.ġ. I am basically asking for some handholding. I am hoping you can give me some advice/wisdom that will save me some mistakes/headaches and really, really hopefully also save me time I don't have to research and become an expert.
