Convert VHS to DVD?

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

Do any of the electronic stores have a dual VHS/DVD deck where I could pop in my old VHS tapes and direct-record to the DVD recorder?

Yes and No! ( I love ambiguity)... 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 ...

Shoot me a PM to discuss the possibilities....

No, not the store-bought movie videos. I want to convert my old skydiving VHS tapes, especially the ones from the state records back in the late 90's, to DVD.

I can buy DVD movies cheap these days.

Billy : Shoot me a PM or email me ... if you want to digitize non-copyrighted VHS, I can do it for you at no cost (other than paying for the DVD media)
