Hi Leo,
Thanks for this. If you need any info on which DVD recorder to buy I did some research into the subject before we bought ours.
We have about 2500 VHS tapes which we would need to sort through before transferring so it is quite a daunting task for 1 person.

tapes to DVD
Dear Charlotte,
It's good to know that someone else is considering converting their VHS
holdings to DVD. We have only just had an aerial installed here at
Chelsea College of Art & Design. Our first priority will be to start
recording off-air on to DVD, when we have bought the equipment; and then in the
medium term I am aiming to convert VHS recordings on to DVD. I had not
envisgaed using any outside companies to accomplish this - at present,
anyway. It's all thoughts at the moment Charlotte. I wish I had
some practical experience to share with you. I hope this helps a little.
Best wishes,
Leo Clarey

Dear all,
I am considering transferring the current library VHS off-air recordings over to DVD. I wonder if anyone has done this yet and if you have which companies you have used/ investigated. I realise that in a couple of years we may well want to migrate over to server storage but at the moment I am just considering the options.
Thanks,
