   Hi everyone.

   Is there a place in WS or around that transfers VHS to DVD? I have an old student movie I'd love to have on DVD but it is the only copy I have so I'd like a personal rec.

   Thanks!!!

   I use Victory Studios by Ballard for media projects. I haven't compared prices because they have always done such a fine job, so I don't know where they rate on the cost scale:

   Honestly the price of dvd recorders have really gone down if you have more then this one project (or have tv shows you want to record). I know this is a little off topic but VHS tapes don't last forever - if you don't play them at least once a year they get very brittle and can break, and the voice and picture quality really diminishes over time. I would encourage everyone to get those family videos transfered over to DVD asap, whether you follow the responses to the op or purchase your own recorder.

   I have to second Pam. I am a teacher and wanted to transfer a lot of my stuff to DVD, so I went to Frye's in Renton and got a great deal on a VHS/DVR combo for around $200 or so. It seems like a lot up front, but it has more than paid for itself already.

   I don't know what an outside company would charge, but if you think you're going to do this more than once, it might not be the best deal.

   there's a guy on 35th -- kinda by Kenyon Hall and the florist, non-descript store front. He'll put your videos on DVD. A friend of mine did it...

   Well, I have a DVD recorder....I tried to hook it up to my tv/vcr and it didn't work. I also, of course, lost the manual. If anyone wants to give it a try, you're more than welcome. I just use it for a DVD player right now.

   JenV,

   I'd love to try it. The manual is probably available online, too. I could check. I only have the one tape to transfer so I really don't want to buy one. Thanks! Here's my email: eyeheartgiraffe@me dot com

   Thanks :)

    Has anybody ever had Super-8's transferred to DVD? How does the quality stack up nowadays?
