Simple USB Video capture interface will normally work well and runs under $75. It sounds like your machine would do fine with a number of video capture solutions, and they range from simple and cheap to more then your computer cost. Probably the lowest cost easy solutions is a USB 2.0 video capture device that will allow connecting the RCA cables from your VCR to your computer.

This is one found at usbvideoadapter.com/. There are many brands and I suspect they all work very similar. Once you have the video, you can edit in Windows Moviemaker or often these device are sold with some form of video editing software.

Hope that helps.

A basic composite video capture card... You'll need an analog to digital video converter. More specifically, the converter should have composite and/or S-Video inputs. There are a lot of different brands and features, but the ones from Hauppauge are some of the most popular: hauppauge.com/pages/compare/compare_pvr.... possibility is the Dazzle Video Creator Platinum from Pinnacle Systems (pinnaclesys.com/): newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82... If the goal is to burn the VHS videos to a DVD, a stand-alone DVD recorder or a VCR/DVD recorder combo unit might be easier and less time consuming: Lite-On LVW-5115GHC+ DVD Recorder http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882668008 Philips DVDR3545V/37 DVD/VHS Recorder http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882641224 Samsung DVD-R155 DVD Recorder http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882676058 Toshiba DVR650 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882116099 A few things to keep in mind when choosing a video capture card and transferring video to a computer: - Because of the upcoming switch (February 17, 2009) from analog to digital broadcasts, standard VCRs with analog tuners won't be able to record over-the-air broadcasts without a converter with a digital tuner.

This also includes computer TV tuners that only support NTSC broadcasts. Tuners with digital support (ATSC) will be fine. - If converting VHS tapes to DVD, the video format is important in order for most DVD players to be able to play the discs.

- Capturing and storing video in an uncompressed format will use up a lot of disk space. At DVD resolution (720x480), uncompressed video can eat up more than 1 GB per minute. A 250 GB will hold only about 4 hours of uncompressed video.

But even with MPEG-2 compression (used in standard DVD-Video discs), 1 hour of video will need about 3 GB of storage.

This worked great for my 15 tapes to DVD disc I used the DVDirect® MC5 Multi-Function DVD Recorder for a bunch of tapes I had to convert off of VHS tape. It copies them real time, about an hour for each DVD. Here is the link to this product in Amazon... amazon.com/Sony-VRDMC5-DVDirect-DVD-Reco... .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
