If they aren't store bought movie videos (which usually have Macro
protection from copying), you can pretty easily convert them to a DVD with a
computer that has a TV input jack (a lot of newer ones (last few

Just a thought....

Ya gotta admit though, the period where some PC's used cassette tape drives
just plain sucked.  Ever try to load a big program from one of those?

Error...

When I built my second PC in 1982, I bought a double 1 mbyte 8" floppy drive
for $600, all in one physical case.  I had heard of them hard disk thingies
(and fixed them in the US Navy) but my single board computer didn't have an
interface for it.

On a similar note, I have many boxes of VHS tapes in the basement, which I
haven't even opened since we moved up from Mexico in 2000.  I actually do
have a TV with a VCR built into it but when that goes...
