Video Tape to DVD

[elcee45]

My video is on the blink and thought I would replace it with a DVD recorder, is there any inexpensive way of transferring old videos onto DVD?

I would not like to lose them as they are videos of holidays I have had with my late husband.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks a lot for the link VHG, seems pretty straightforward, so I will give it a go.

Just as VHG's link suggests, but personally I use a DVD recorder with a built in hard drive.

I then copy my tape onto the hard drive, and then I can edit it, and when I have cut out the bits I don't need etc. I then copy from the hard drive to a DVD disc. Not forgetting to finalise the disc so that it can be viewed on other players.

Thanks everyone, managed to transfer the videos to the DVD then to disc no problem.
