DDG: I'm using a fairly souped up gaming desk top.
I have a huge collection of old/obscure comedy VHS cassettes and I really want to put this on DVD.

Make a Dual and Vanishing Point double feature. Maybe with Damnation Alley on it too. I really like car movies where the car is an actual character.
My PC does have firewire ports all over the place, I is asking about USB because that is all I have seen as far as this kind of device.
I used to like to collect video. I even have a 6 hour cassette of the very first night FOX was on the air. Tracey Ullman show, the Simpsons first show, etc.
