Another reason to throw out your VCR

Anyone who grew up during the VHS era might feel a pang of guilt when faced with the stacks of tapes stashed in the TV-room closet.
Ah, the memories recorded there -- vacations, weddings, your kid mooning the crowd at graduation. As time marches on, those plastic cartridges steadily degrade. DVDs have a much longer shelf life, but unless you've had an army of audio/video geeks at your disposal, until now the only option for transferring analog to digital has been to bring your tapes to the pros at the camera shop. Or you could buy one of those pricey new DV camcorders that turn analog content into digital video automatically.
The AVerMedia DVD EZMaker puts you in the director's chair again: With the help of a USB 2.0 connection, the process of putting VHS material onto a DVD or CD becomes a high-speed, do-it-yourself affair. The EZMaker USB 2.0 is a nifty little palm-size gizmo that uses basic video cables (the red, white, and yellow ones that connect your TV to your VHS or DVD player) to transfer recordings from a VHS player, camcorder, or TV to your computer.
