I have home movies on VHS tapes and need to get them on my pc to edit them. I
will also need to copy the edited movies back to VHS. What is the simplest
way to get the VHS movies onto my pc and back to VHS???--

If you want quality then I'd recommend looking at either canopus advc range
or Miglia. Both will offer analogue in, digital out by firewire, giving you
dv-avi files which are easy to edit, in any programme, inclusing movie
maker, and depending on model will also output back out to vhs. You will
get no trouble with audio/video sync, as they use tbc to lock the signals
together.
This cannot be said for any of the cheaper products, as these often capture
as mpeg/mjepg, hard to edit, lose sync.
