As VCRs fade into the sunset, you're going to need a way to transfer your videotaped treasures to DVD. Fortunately, the job is easy. Aside from a PC and a VCR, all you need is a device to convert your VCR's analog signals to digital. That, plus some editing software, and you're ready to roll tape--so to speak. We chose Pinnacle Systems' Studio MovieBox Deluxe 9.0, which includes Studio 9.0 software and MovieBox hardware. Several manufacturers offer similar hardware/software packages that can do the job; although our steps refer to Pinnacle's MovieBox, the procedure should be the same no matter which package you choose.
