Subject: [Videolib] techie question about DVD conversion
Technical "Is it possible?" question that I thought maybe you wise ones =
may have already investigated...
Is it possible to convert a VHS tape into a DVD without the use of a =
computer? =20
I thought there was a VCR-DVD Recorder combo unit available, but I'm not =
finding one. (Pressure from movie companies?)
We have a digital editing system and a digital/analog convertor box so =
we know how to do it through the computer. But it can be really slow.
It seems to me that a DVD Recorder connected to a VCR via a convertor =
box would work (but I don't think Best Buy will let me start plugging =
things in at the store).
Before anyone gets excited about copyright, I'm not trying to duplicate =
Casablanca. This question came up while dealing with videos of last =
spring's Commencement ceremony. (Our thought was "Why don't they use a =
digital camcorder?" but that's another story.)
