The main options are diy using a vhs and dvd recorder if you have neither beg or borrow from friends or neighbours.

Or if you're feeling flush you can pay someone to do it. Most camera shops such as Jessops offer a servvice as well as local indepentent camera shops. Costs vary some charge per tape others charge on the amount of footage e.g. 1 hr of transfer time for �10.

If you are paying someone else to do it it is worth reviewing the material first to make sure it is worth paying for.

I've just done a family compilation tape that had an hours worth of various films in the middle. Had I not reviewed it first that would have been a waste of time and dvd space.

I have just turned all my tapes into DVD, going back at least 45 years, with the use of a combines video/DVD recorder. I think you can find one for just over �100.00. That will be a lot cheaper than paying �10.00 or so a reel. It is well worth when they are converted.
