One way is to buy a dual unit that has VHS/DVD burning capabilities.

If not then....

Must (video in) option on Computer or TV with DVD burn/recording capability. Plug vhs video out RCA to computers video in. Plus Make an adapter for your sound. Sound adapter= RCAs to headphone jack. Plug headphone into line in jack on computer. Open windows movie maker and select your recording device. This will be video in. Press record and start the VHS. The sound can be recorded later. Ahead Nero will convert the file so it can be played on DVD player in your home.

Another option is to use a Video Transfer Service. StashSpace.Com is a good one. After transferring your video tapes to digital (costs $7/tape) you can either get DVDs immediatly, watch and create custom DVDs online, or get back the digital files on a portable hard drive.

There are several ways:

Use a combined VHS and DVD recorder. It will allow you to record a VHS tape straight to a DVD in a single unit

Use a VHS player and separate DVD recorder. As with the combined unit, the VHS output can be recorded straight to a DVD

With either of these solutions, use the DVD in a PC DVD drive and rip the data to hard disk and you now have a copy of the material on the computer. Ripping software is required and there are free versions available from several download sites.

Alternatively, use a video capture card (Normally an external USB device these days) and record the VHS output straight to the computer's hard disk. Using the computer's DVD writer, the video content can be copied onto a DVD. DVD mastering and writing software is needed. They can also be found as freeware on download sites.

Can you use maxell cassette adapter VHS c to convert video 8 P6-120MP tapes to VHS or DVD?

NO you cannot. AS video8 is digital and VHS is analog so they dont work together. The adaptor will only work with VHS-C tapes. What I would recommend is using a video transfer service to convert your video 8 tapes into a digital format. Watch and edit the digital files on your computer or get the tapes transferred to DVDs. StashSpace.Com does a good job at this, costs $7 for the transfer to digital and $10-15 for DVDs. http://www.stashspace.com/video-transfer/video-dvd-transfer.stm
