I just got a great new Plextor dual layer DVD burner and now I want to burn all my old VHS tapes to DVD. What's the best choice for capturing the video from VHS and burning it to DVD on my PC? I've read about Plextor's external adapter, but wouldn't an internal device be (1) cheaper, and (2) just as good? What products should I look at?
