Default VHS to DVD?

I have some old VHS ( I think that's what they are called ) that I'd like to have made into DVD's. I've seen a couple of on line services that do that if you mail them in but am wary of sending my precious one of a kind tapes that may end up in never never land ( and I'm not talking about the ranch )
Have any of you done thins or have capabilities to do it?

take it to a local store so you won't have to mail it.

So they do it at Wal Mart or a CVS? I didn't even think about it being easy

Well, converting them is not a quick process. They have to first digitize the footage and get it into the computer, then export it back out and burn it to a DVD.

When I'm converting from tape to DVD it takes a lot of time. Usually however many hours of footage times 3 would be the bare minimum amount of time just to get it on the computer and ready to export. Burning it to DVD is another time consuming process.

A safe estimate would be 5 hours of work for every 1 hour of footage you are converting. And that's if the person has absolutely nothing else to do but convert video.
