I'd certainly offer my services free of charge to convert that VHS tape to DVD. It should be preserved! -Tom Vintage Computer Festival wrote: -- Thomas Hudson http://portdistrict5.org -- 5th District Aldermanic Website http://portev.org -- Electric Vehicles, Solar Power & More http://portgardenclub.org -- Port Washington Garden Club http://portlightstation.org -- Light Station Restoration http://klanky.com -- Animation Projects

Some countries levy a tax on blank media to cover private copying, I think Germany is among them. In Norway, we have been allowed to distribute private copies as long as there is no kind of reimbursement involved. The new law (based on the new EU copyright directive) will still explicitely allow unlimited personal copies of things that lack effective copy protection, and to make copies to the same media types of items with copy protection. We also have schools and libraries which pay an annual fee to be allowed copying stuff. I think there is always a way, but possibly not in the US. -- -bv

I have a pretty good Vid capture card in my system, I can save as NTSC or PAL, save as a raw AVI, Mpeg-2, VideoCD or DVD, so if somebody wants to send the tape to me, I can make short work of it and post the file up onto one of my servers to D/L to anyone who wants to burn a ton of DVD's or I can just burn it to a master DVD and send it to whomever will make all of the DVD's Curt Adrian Graham wrote:
