Best way to transfer VHS to DVD?
I'm looking to transfer some old home videos to DVD. But there are so many factors involved, I'm not sure where to start.
I know that Walgreens and Walmart offer this service for a very good price. However, Walgreens, for example, sends your VHS tapes to Arizona to be transferred. These are very old, irreplaceable tapes, and I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of having them shipped so far away. Also, I'd like to be able to put the footage in my computer afterwards to mess around with it, but Walmart says it's not possible to give you raw footage; instead, they just send you a DVD that's meant to be popped into a player and watched.
Are there any places that transfer footage on the spot, and that give it to you in a format that can be edited? Or do I have to buy my own home transfer device if I want that?
Thanks!

Finding a professional video transfer service in your area
may be difficult.
Check your local Yellow Pages under "Video Editing".
I use VCRs and standalone DVD recorders,
but I'm not a professional video editor
and don't have things like a timebase corrector
to help me get the best possible results.

most reasonable sized communities have video producers. that is the only way you can get custom service and select the format recorded for computer use. finding one may be a chore, try asking your cable TV company, local television station (if you have one), or look up producers of wedding videos in the yellow pages.
