I have some really old documentaries that I recorded onto VHS years ago and I still watch them. The thing is these videos are not going to last forever and the tape is already starting to go bad. Is there anyway I can record what is on the tape, onto CD?? Where can I go to do this??

It would take an awful lot of cds! Far better to copy on to dvd.

Dvd recorders are now quite cheap - hook it up to your tv and video recorder and away you go.

I don't think you'd regret your purchase - much better to record on dvd r or dvd rw than video tapes.

If you buy a standard cheap recorder,it won't be digital, but could still record digital tv (as long as you have means of receiving it of course) - but it will be a faff. However, it will play all dvds as well, so will replace your current dvd player.

If you have more money to invest you could buy a bells and whistles digital hard drive recorder with the facility to burn to removable dvd disk (archiving).

You can buy a decent standard dvd recorder for around �60 that is capable of doing exactly what you want.

Noticed an ad in our local Metro paper today for combined DVD/VHS player recorders for �30
