Turning videos into DVDs?

Alright, i have a computer with a little slot to put videos into, and then it says you can turn your videos into dvds. I put a video into the computer, and nothing happens, ie. the computer doesnt know somethings in there. Whats a program that might assist in this, or how do i work it?





By the videos, just to note, i mean VHS like disney, as an example.





Thanks, sorry if it makes no sense! xxx

Turning videos into DVDs?
ok, ill take a stab.





thats a very unusual machine if it takes vhs tapes, but the principal is that if you are capturing from that sort of device its through a video capture card. You will have one of these installed on your pc if its designed to capture from the slot you describe, so what you need to do is (a) find out if there's software for it installed on yr machine, and (b) learn how to use it, or, if there is no software for it (you cant find an application that captures from the vhs tapes) thn you need to identify what sort of capture card it is and download the relevant applications from the manufacturers web site.





To do this youy could use a program like cpu-z or belarc advisor. run one of these then read the report. it should tell you what it is. once you know, get the software and you should be in business.
