Archiving VHS to DVD


The challenge is to archive old VHS tapes to a more 'permanent' medium such as DVD. I'd like to spare myself the expense of professional intervention and DIY.
Any suggestions? I've heard that there are devices which will convert an analog video signal to digital formats and then input that siganl to a PC.

The device I am using is branded as "Data Video model DAC 100". I am feeding it from tapes played on a Sony SLV-R1000 SVHS machine. So far I have transferred 8 full tapes and the results have been superb.

I don't know what software to suggest, I run Macintosh Computer and the software that comes with OS X has everything needed to transfer, correct, edit and burn to DVD.

No doubt there are versions for Windows and Linux based machines, perhaps others here at Audiogon can fill in that last part.
