I have seen this service advertised in pc magazines.
If this is a one time deal it may make more sense to have it done, rather than invest in the necessary parts to do it yourself....

cant you just buy one of those dvd player that lets u record as well....seen it at a few places. you can put in your vhs and record it to a dvd w/o needing the use of a computer

check if your video card has video in , if it does, you can make a lead for less than a fiver,(£), if not, maybe one of your mates might do it for you, if you were a mate of mine, i know that i would do it for you, probably take a few hours, depending on length of wedding vid. you could also edit and add transition effects that enhance the original , making it look more professional.
COCKBOY, Not , and i mean NOT, GAY! OK!!! :lol: :lol:
