Coping VHS to DVD?

Question

I'm looking to transfer 20 years of family video tape to DVD, but I don't have the equipment to do so. Can anyone recommend a good DVD player that will also record from a VHS? Even if it means obtaining a VCR and hooking it up to the DVD. I'm trying to do this cheaply. I've seen some services that will do 2 VHS tapes, up to 2 hours, for $30 - but that's too expensive when I have over 20 tapes that range from 2-8 hours each.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

try going to sears or looking on line they might have something.

Answer 2

Hi myjaxons,

If they are family tapes they do not have copy guard so a combo VHS / DVD recorder would get the job done.

They have dropped in price. You can get them for less then $100.

Here is an example at Walmart for $99 - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d...
