iluvtofly 0 #1 March 14, 2009 So in the midst of packing up my apartment I'm getting rid of alot of stuff. Such as my VCR. I mean honestly, who still watches VHS tapes? Only problem, the video of my first tandem is on VHS. Is there any way to get it converted to DVD for cheap or free? Is there anyone in Atlanta who can hook me up once I get down there? Thanks.

lippy 773 #2 March 14, 2009 Take it to the DZ next time you go. I don't think I've seen a DZ that doesn't still have a VCR hidden somewhere, and there's sure to be vidiots with the gear to burn a DVD. Might cost you some beer, but you're moving to a new DZ, you should be bringing beer anyways!I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you can buy VHS/DVD transfer recorders.... there is this little problem with Macrovision ... so you if you are thinking about transferring your old "Top Gun" VHS to DVD ... it won't be that easy ...

I want to convert my old skydiving VHS tapes, especially the ones from the state records back in the late 90's, to DVD.
