Connecting tape/VHS player

[mknabster]

Is there a way I can connect my VHS player to my computer to download the VHS video so i can edit and put it onto DVD? I really don't want to spend $200+ for one of those VHS/DVD converters w/out having the ability to edit it. And also, what kind of cord would i need to download LPs and tapes to my computer also, like what should i look for w/ a Line in port?

If you have usb2, Radio Shack sells a little device that will allow you to hook up tv, camcorder, vhs, etc. I don't remember the name offhand. Around 100 dollars.
