I’ve used one of those VCR/DVD Recorder combo units that dub from tape to disc. It seemed to work pretty well and was very simple to use. If you had to pay
a couple hundred dollars for it you’d probably still come out ahead in the deal over paying someone to do it. The drag with doing any conversions like that is that it has to run in real time so it can be time consuming, but once you press record you’re free
to do other things for an hour or so, then just come back to finalize the disc.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Media conversion question
I asked WKAR/Broadcast services if they offer a service to convert older VHS recordings to DVD or digital files, and was informed
that they no longer provide those services for hire. I have a few faculty members with older recordings on VHS that they can't simply buy a DVD version of, either because they are so specialized, or the company that made the original VHS is no longer in business.
Our technology department really doesn't have the resources to get into this business, so we'd rather out source these requests.
Has anyone used a commercial service to convert older VHS to DVDs? I so, who would you recommend, and what is pricing like? Thanks
in advance for any recommendations.
