Audacity is SoundForge's penalty for being too expensive for too long.

How does one put videotape onto CDs? My brother put all our home movies on VHS, by taping the screen running dad's old 8mm projector...now I want those on CD or something.

You can take the vcr and connect it to a video capture device like the Pinnacle Dazzle. That device will have software that will let you use your dvd burner in your PC to make dvds of your video tapes.

I have the Dazzle and am not terribly impressed with it. It's a pain to use the software. Scrolling through the video capture devices sold by Amazon (linked above) there don't seem to be any with more than 3 stars.

I don't have a rock solid answer to this question. Nothing I would recommend.

Actually, this and this get decent reviews on newegg. But some people had problems with the software on both.

I have the ADS one. It's always worked well for me. The capture software is fine. The video editing software is rudimentary, but usable. You're probably going to want something else in that department. (I just used Nero 6 myself, which is arguably rudimentary + 1.)
