Re: VHS - DVD
I'm not sure how that works. I have some VHS I would love to convert to DVD.

Re: VHS - DVD
Just looked that system & I have a similar system but it still requires that the VCR be played @ normal recorded speed (eg 2hrs), so that mean for me to download my VHS tapes to disc, I first have to spend 320hrs(160 tapes) downloading to my comuter then the time it takes to creat DVD's. There are audio cassette devices out there that high speed dub but I have never been able to find any kind of VHS players that will high speed dub.

Re: VHS - DVD
I really doubt that you'll find a high-speed VHS deck except possibly in professional video gear.

Use a DVD recorder that you can just start and forget about, then you can do two or three tapes a day. (Start one at breakfast, another when you get home, another before bed.) Get another VCR and DVD recorder from a yard sale or thrift store; then you can do 6 tapes a day.
On the other hand, hard drive storage is cheap. If you capture to DV quality AVI (for ease of editing), that's about 13 gigs per hour. So, you can capture 3 tapes a day, 6 days a week, and take up less than 500G of space. Then, hopefully there's some video editing software that will let you mark the edits and stuff to export, and then process them unattended.
Maybe use a combination, depending on the content. Heave the movies taped off cable TV onto DVD-R blanks. With home videos, take the time to edit them into chapters on the computer.
