I have a question about DVD recorders?

I recently found a bunch of old video tapes of old TV shows and they are in okay condition. I was wondering is it worth to buy a dvd Recorder and put them on DVD or just leave them on the tapes? Is the quality any good after you put tapes to dvds? Any suggestion on what brands of recorders would be best? or anything else to look at?

    I make alot of DVD-video's..and I use my computer and Roxio software..

    Roxio does sell a little gadget that allows for your VCR(hook-up)..

    ===

    The stand-alone models..DVD Recorders..I have no knowledge about--

    ===

    Should you wish too use a computer..

    I would suggest a Desktop..not a Laptop..

    ..and a Pentium Processor..1-GB of high speed RAM(minimum)..

    ..and a 7200-rpm HDD(System C:/drive)..with a storage drive(also 7200-rpm)..

    Roxio software is very reliable,,I've used it for many years..

    Works great w/Camcorder's..

    ===

    The Quality..with some experiance..Roxio software does allow for some adjustments..

    Generally..what you see is what you get..

    ===

    Useing a computer does have some-options-

    But its quite expensive..

    Most of my options--for quality cost 100-dollars or more..(each)

    Where a stand-alone DVD recorder can be purchased for much less..

    I prefer the DVD+R Blank Disk for making DVD-video..(that's Plus)..+

    ===

    I'm pretty sure those stand-alone DVD Recoder's are all DVD+R(compatible).[end]

    If you get the computer with the VHS developed in you don't have got to attach the 2 in combination. If you get the machines with out the VHS developed in you do get higher offerings of machines for essentially the most side. Depends upon how a lot you desire to spend. But sure, the better priced and extra long lasting machines shouldn't have the VHS unit developed in. Connecting the VHS to the DVD recorder is an issue of connecting the video and audio outputs of the VHS computer to the video and audio inputs of the DVD recorder (yellow to yellow, white to white and purple to purple) with RCA cable connections.
