Hi,

VHS to DVD "dual deck" transfer machines are cheap these days. Walmart sells 
them for $150 or so. You just put the tape in, put a blank DVD in, select a 
"quality" (sp,lp,slp etc) and press DUB. I have a Pioneer model I got from 
TigerDirect for about $270 a while back, and I find it very easy to use. Much 
easier than doing the computer digitizing route if all you need is a straight 
copy.

Steve
PS. That was my first meeting! Looking forward to more.

We were talking about various old TV shows at the meeting.
I looked up Automan to see what that was about. I remember somebody
mentioning "Eureka", the animated short about physics, after I'd mentioned
it in the car ride over. I have a line on a source that will lend me all six
tapes, all 30 episodes, the whole shot. We can see them all.

The thing is they are on tape, and I assume that means (I can find out) that
they are on VHS. I don't have a TV anymore, or a VHS player. I'd like to
find some people on this list who have some knowledge about VHS to DVD
transfer, so that we can make copies for all. If somebody contacts me on the
board and says they have the know-how, and some ideas on where to get the
hardware, then I'll contact my source.
