Hi, I have a question and I don't know where to find the answer so I thought
I'd try here.
I have a Sony Vaio notebook PCG-K series and I have some VHS videos of the
family from years ago and I would like to put them onto a DVD. I thought
that I could use the laptop to do this but I can't find out how, has anyone
transfered a video onto a DVD using this notebook laptop? If so could you
please tell me how you did it..thanks, Linda

Unless there is a video capture interface (TV in, sound in) you will
have to purchase the interface to do this. Most laptops no longer have
video capture capability. Tom's Hardware has a guide
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/video/20040614/index.html#guides that
might help. Google "video capture dvd", etc. for other guides. Like
most things computer, all it takes is a guide, $$, and time.
