Software to Transfer Your Old VHS Tapes to DVD - Free After Rebate

Technology keeps moving. Many of us built up collections of VHS tapes of old home videos, as well as tapes of films, TV shows etc. As industry switched to DVDs, we had to maintain both a VHS player and a DVD player for newer items. Wouldn't it be nice to transfer the VHS tapes over to DVD format? And wouldn't it be nice if you could get that software virtually free?

Right now, Fry's.com is offering VHS to DVD 3.0 software for $25.00, and there is a $25.00 rebate valid until April 3rd. You do have to pay shipping on this one, which is about $5.00, but that's not a bad overall price for software that lets you streamline your video collection. Imagine all the storage space you can save getting rid of those bulky VHS tapes?

Note: You do need a video-capture card, device or video-capture capability (I believe it's built in with Vista as long as you have a firewire connection) to make this work. So before ordering, check your system capabilities and also your tech know-how to make sure it'll be useful.

Here's a description of software features:

User-friendly interface
Advanced scene editing tools allow you to record movies and easily trim out commercials or unwanted scenes.
Easily add transition effects, titles, and chapters.
