Thanks everyone. I gave up on the DVC Dazzle capture device. I was able to transfer VHS tapes to DVD, but couldn't bring the sound along. Corel online support was slow so I returned it and purchased Honestech VHS to DVD Deluxe 5. I transferred eight tapes to DVD-Rs with no problems. Then I decided to edit and give the tapes a title and to split portions and other such editing. Only thing is I had copied the tapes to DVD-Rs and have to create new DVD after editing. I went back to store and purchased some DVD-RWs.
The hardest part for me is the files it creates. Somehow after editing I would up with choices in the Clip Panel, a Video Editing Box icon, a second box showing the title icon, and after editing the title for a second time--yet another title icon. Finally, called Honestech and the Support person patiently talked me through it. Still a little fuzzy. I like to keep my files organized and I accidentally deleted some files on one tape because I didn't understand the file names. I had to capture that tape a second time.
Both Best Buy and the online Honestech.com Customer Support took time to answer my questions. Kudo's to both!
Here's my next dumb (yes, dumb) question. For my family who do not have DVD players, is there a way I can transfer DVDs to CD's or as a file on my computer? Then I could put the file on a flash drive and copy to their computer?
