Back in 1995 my sister and I decided to have a family memoir created with still family pictures displayed with music playing in the background. It was created for us by an individual that I no longer have contact with. I am wondering if it would be possible to transfer this VHS (and other items recorded some time back)to my computer so that I might create a DVD of it? Are there transfer USB cables available for connecting between the VHS player and my computer? If so, what type of software would I need to be able to transfer the VHS content to my computer?

Use your PC for video capture. There are hardware/software and software only products available. If your video card doesn't have composite video inputs, you'll need a hardware/software solution. Products are available that connect with USB, others are replacement video boards that include composite video input.

Thanks for your input and the link Wayne. You have helped me understand a little more about this. I have Windows Media Player, so my assumption is that I will be able to use this to capture the video. I also have Windows Movie Maker, though I have not ever looked at it. I now have an excuse to see what it can do as well. My hardware says I have a 'Legacy video capture device', so I think I am good to go. All I gotta do is try it. Thanks!
