What would I need to do that? I want to convert some VHS tapes to DVD.

Yep, a device like that would work. Pinnacle also makes some video capture devices that could be used.

Alternatively, you could get a video adapter for your computer with A/V inputs already integrated. I believe Hauppauge makes some.

Peace...

I have a ATI all in wonder addon card that does that and inputs Hi Def /Cd's Dvd ect ect..
Got it pretty cheap online. It came with a remote control. I haven't had time to try it yet and don't even know if I'm going to keep it.

Thanks for mentioning the ATI All-in-Wonder. I had totally forgotten about the ATI offerings.

Peace...
