I would also like to be able to EDIT these old VHS tapes. Do I have to convert them to DVD's first, then put them on my computer, before burning a second edited copy to DVD? About 5 yrs ago before the transfer to HDTV in 2009, I contemplated buying a DVD/DVR recorder to edit these videos, but at the time I thought they were too expensive. Now I hear they are no longer making them,

and used ones are very expensive due to high demand.
