461300 2006-06-07 02:29:00 For starters, does anyone know of a good bunch in Auckland? This is just for someone at work with two 5 min VHS tapes.

In terms if myself, I have several physical training video series', probably about 12-15 VHS tapes all up that I want to convert to DVD. In my case it will probably be cheaper to do it myself...in fact looking at the cost of one crowd ($40 first, $30 each subsequent), I seriously think I can do it cheaper myself including buying a video and DVD player. Can someone suggest a good package to purchase...?

I'm a bit hopeless with A/V kit.

Thanks,

Brendan

The card has a TV arial socket on it so you can plug that into it or a video recorder, basicly the same setup as if you were plugging into a TV. You tune your channels with the software provided. I have one and have it set up for TV as well as for putting video tapes onto DVD.

cheers,
