Windows 10: Convert VHS tapes to DVD

I need to convert my wife's 60th birthday tape to DVD, any good options? Thanks in advance for help. I found some VHS conversion options but I am little bit skeptical to use them.

Help with Copying DVD's made from Home VHS Tapes

We purchased a VHS/DVD Recorder to convert our old home movies from VHS to DVD. We completed the project in 2014 and now family members want copies of the disc and I would like to be able to edit them and make copies for them to have since the old VHS tapes
from the 80's are falling apart.

I have Windows 10 and know they do not support this any longer so I am asking, as a 66 year old grandmother, what is the best software that I can purchase that will allow me to copy the DVD to my computer, edit the grainy areas out and then make a duplicate
of the DVD for my family members. I have searched, as the Microsoft Virtual Assistant has told me to do to find a program but frankly, they all look too complicated. I don't need anything that will make a big production, just copy over the already burned
DVDs, edit them and then burn a new one for my 2 daughters and their families.

I have read some of the suggestions from older posts for free software but my antivirus always warns me that there is a virus or malware attached to them.

I am willing to pay to get the software, hopefully around $30 - $50 but do need something that is easy to do and that will meet my needs and easy to understand.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. My sister lost her son and I have DVDs of him when he was young and she would like to have one for her own and right now, the VHS tape that is was on is destroyed from heat and being 30 years old.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

 

VHS Tape Conversion and Capture

First, you'll need a capture device to convert the VHS tapes from analog to digital. The

Dazzle DVD Recorder HD is an example. To find more capture devices, as well as professionally written reviews, search the web, using

best VHS capture device

as your search term.

Then, you'll want video editing software to turn the captured video into a final product, like

Nero or
Pinnacle Studio. As above, to find more video editors, along with professional reviews, search the web using

best video editing software

as your search term.

I will tell you that capture devices and video editors are complicated; you'll need to spend a good amount of time learning how to use them. If you've got many VHS tapes to convert, and you're somewhat technically inclined, the investment in time (and money)
that you will make is definitely worthwhile, and you'll be very happy with the results. But if you only have a few videos to convert, you'll find it easier and less expensive to let a professional do this for you.

Also keep in mind that video capture and editing and processor-intensive, so you'll need a pretty powerful computer for best results.
