Software for converting Video Cassettes to DVD/CD's
u can not convert cassettes to CD/DVDs directly using softwares... u need hardware like Capture Card or i-link card (IEEE 1394 port card) or atleast TV Tuner card....These cards convert analog AV signal into Digital signals....
then u can connect ur VCP/VCR to these card's input, and all the cards bundle a Software to record it, u can use those softwares.....
apart from the bundled software, u can also use VirtualDub....

u only need to get either TV Tuner card or Capture Card...
TV Tuner cards cost aroun Rs.2000 to Rs.4000/- , and and i dont have idea abt price of Capture Cards.
u can get good quality from good TV Tuner cards like Pinnacle, Aviosys, some of these record directly in mpg format.
i have converted some video cassettes to VCD, picture quality is good, but i have not done it myself, my computer dealer has a Matrox Graphics Card (i dont remember the model, i think it's G 550...) which is an All in One card, it's a Capture Card, Graphics Card, TV Tuner, TV out all bundled in one!!!! it has a very good software and it can also burn CD/DVD. But this cards costs some Rs.12000 or Rs.14000....

There are people who can do this for you at a cost of Rs. 90 per CD (i.e. Rs. 270 per cassette). So depending on the number of cassettes, this may be a cheaper option.
Remember, you can't plant and maintain a coconut tree if you want to just occassionally enjoy coconut water. It would be cheaper to buy it from the market

Get a frontech Tv Tuner Card the price will be around 1200-1500
Thats all if you have a VCR or Camera to play the Video Tape.
Capture the video using the bundled software. Ot use some 3rd party software like
*www.computervideo.net/software.html
Or do some googling ... soem softwares are winvcd,
or try Pinnacle Studio, Ulead Vedio...
With useal video studio, pinnacle, adobe premier you can even edit the video something like applying video filters, transistion... etc..
If you need more help ... ask again.
