DVD/VCR Combo reviews, info please?

[Freedom]

WOW thanks Alicia, that is even more than I expected, a link and everything~! Will be trying for one this weekend, as Massachusetts is having a sales tax holiday for Saturday and Sunday.

Getting them transferred over to DVDs would be a good thing, too, as VCR tapes DO wear out over time, and DVD is a more stable medium!

The cost involved in that would be horrendous. Freedom has 100s...best bet would be too find a cheap used VCR some place, and buy one DVD at a time, as they break. Though, in the 30 years I have had tapes? None have broken. LOL. Some of my favorite work out tapes are on VCR format...anyone remember the original Reebok Step? Gosh I love that thing!

With the player Alysser listed, she can do it herself, that's what her parents do!

With 100s of them? Not likely! LOL...she would be there for years.

No, because you can set it to doing one, walk away, play with the fluffs, feed the cloudier, etc!

I remember when Massachusetts did not have a sales tax. Going into Filene's Bargain Basement, purchasing an item for 99¢ - no tax

Really?? Even I don't remember that.

I love living in the tax free state of Delaware. On the rare occasions that I do travel out of state and happen to make a purchase - it really throws me off. The only sales tax we pay here is a one time tax on the purchase of a motor vehicle, and that is based on the price of it. We also have no luxury or personal property tax.

Ah, but I am older than you, Ellie. I remember taking the train to Boston, probably with my mom, as I think I was in my early teens. Bought a crinoline petticoat - remember them? It was in the Bargain Basement, the price was 99¢ - got a penny back.

Douglas likes the no tax Delaware - maybe we should move there

A few years older - not enough to even make a big difference at our age!

Oh yeah - I remember those itchy, scratchy petticoats very well. If one wasn't "poofy" enough - we would sometimes wear 2 or 3 at a time! That's one style I hope never comes back around.

I'd love to have you as a neighbor! Living is pretty darn cheap here too. And you'd be close to the ocean...

[Freedom]

Grace, Ellie, you 2 crack me up when you get started on old RI tales!

I don't think I would copy ALL of them onto DVD, but yes I will copy some!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Where on earth do you take vcr tapes to get them copied to dvds? My vcr croaked and I'm like everyone else have tons of tapes I love but can no longer watch.

Sent you a PM. The Walmart link from this thread on Page 1, the 3rd one down offers this feature. It costs $158. You can find places near you where you take in the VCR tapes and they will copy them to DVD for you. Around here, they are $20 per. If I do 8, I break even!

Once a Rhode Islander - always a Rhode Islander! And we even consider imports from MA as "real" Rhode Islanders, too!

I am pretty sure my mom did it for at least 20 videos, and it was a very simple procedure. I don't know how to do it, personally, but I know it was better than spending a ton of money!
