Title: VHS to DVD
Post by: Lawrence on February 13, 2012, 12:22:16 PM
Wondered if anyone had the set up already in place to copy from VHS to DVD, I have a couple or Railroad DVD's that are still on VHS and we haven't had a video player for years  ::)

Doesn't always work with the later tapes if they have DRM enabled.

Doesn't everybody have a Video/DVD combi-player/ recorder then??  ;D

We got one as we have a lot of car/train/plane videos from way back that are either not available on DVD or it would be too damned expensive to replace them all. Plan to transfer everything to DVD before the VHS tapes wear out  :thumbsup:
