I did it after years ago. It was a pain, took ages and was very unreliable with regards to quality. I would be more tempted to pay someone now.

You need a PC with the correct input, software, time(lots of it, can only be done in real time). Then just when you think it's done either the sound or picture or both get duff halfway through as you are watching it back.

I'd be inclined to pay for a pro to do it.

I'd also be inclined to skip DVD altogether and go straight to digital files. I've not had a DVD player in 10+ years. It too will eventually go the way of VHS.
