Converting VHSc (compact) Home Videos onto DVD's?
Hey everyone, so my whole child hood is on these VHSc (compact) tapes that you put in a thing that goes into a VCR and then you can play them. My question is how do I go through this whole process of converting these home videos to DVD?
I heard I need a video tuner, or something like that. I'm not sure but if you can help me or know how or what I am talking about... help
Also I didn't know what area to put this topic in. So I chose hardware.

You'll also need DVD authoring/burning software - Nero works quite well for both tasks.

UHH I dont think those are vivo but somewhat what your talking about right?
For the price range you are looking for, try these:

If you sort by rating you should find a device that will meet your needs.
AFAIK, Huappauge makes good tuners.
I really am not sure how to go about making a scene selection, dvd menu, add some audio.
And how does it get imbedded onto the dvd-r disc.
Not sure if there are any open source or freeware apps out there to do it.
The menus, chapter settings, and videos clips are all built into a DVD's file structure. For more detail check this out: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/dvd4.htm
[edit] That article didn't say quite what I thought it would. This one is better: http://stream.uen.org/medsol/dvd/pages/dvd_format_filestructure.html

Has a S-video port, its my current video card. Why would that S-video port be there?
To answer your first question, no, you don't need a tuner - just a device that can receive a video signal. It's just most cards that can receive a video signal also contain tuners, ss you can see at this link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048+1069409634&Configurator=&Subcategory=48&description=&Ntk=&srchInDesc=
For numbers, at the time I copied the link there were 9 video cards with VIVO, and 544 without. All 9 VIVO cards were either out of the price range you were looking for or a big step backwards graphically speaking.
