VCR-to-DVD advice sought

I have a bunch of videotapes that I'd like to convert to DVD - things like the Shining Time Station Christmas special and the Harris/Dietrich pimping tape. I don't think my computer has the horsepower to do it digitally, so I'm thinking about getting one of those machines that's basically a videotape player and a DVD burner together. (I think Go-Video makes one.)

Has anyone used any of these? Can you recommend a good one? All input gratefully received!

This is good to hear! We don't really have a good electronics store nearby (by "good" I mean, with knowledgeable salespeople), but Panasonic is a well-known brand here - I'll definitely see what they offer! Thanks for the input!

You're welcome. I hope you find a good, easy to use machine. My friend, Christine, swears by hers!
