I'm pretty good with computers, but I have very little knowledge with video handling.
How would I go about transfering old VHS home movies to my computer for editing? Are there any good/free video editing software available.
I just want to make a small video collage on DVD, and quality isn't that important.

Sadly, "good" and "free" rarely go together!
You'll need to start with the hardware - have a look at analog / digital converters like the Pinnacle Dazzle or the Kworld DVD Maker. A lot of electronics retailers have their own versions of these - mostly cheaper than the Pinnacle product. They mostly come with some software, but the quality's questionable - if it's not good enough, have a look at the AVS Video Editor.

confident you will desire particular utility and a capture gadget to connect from the VHS to computing gadget or VHS to DVD from the small screen television. i exploit the Dazzle gadget for my computing gadget. you could burn to CD if the action picture is below 800 Mb yet whilst greater effective you will desire a DVD burner
