    Anto, there's a place in the same building as where I work, I'm on my lunch at 2, so I'll pop down and ask them.

    Sorry Anto, I got sidelined yesterday.

    I just popped down there now.

    A standard 3 Hour VHS Tape would cost €80 to transfer to DVD is what they said.

    Why not buy the recorder yourself? Here is one for sale on ebay, but you would get them in electronic shops around town.

    cheapest you'll get to zap VHS to DVDR is about €20 per hour!
    (it used to be £80!)
    If ye have a few tapes, that'll rack up to the same amount
    you'll pay for a DVD Recorder.
    They cheap, I'd recommend any PHILIPS HDD recorder (lets you record yer VHS to the Hard Disk - then ye can edit it - start and end, chop out ads etc - and then burn to disk).
    The DVD disc recorders are fine, but if yer tape messes up - ye gotta bin
    the disc yer burning to and start again.
    There's also 'macro-vision/copy protection' to contend with too :(

    Fair play for the responses lads, might try that place in Frascati. The video i want converted is a Documentry taped off the History Channel so it'd be copyrighted. It's 2 hours long.

    hi ,
    did you ever get sorted out with the VHS to dvd problem ?
    I agree with the others.
    Either buy a Hard drive Recorder with the cables around 200 euros from philips.
    or I know someone who could do them for you for less than that price.

    If you didn't get it done yet THIS guy does it very cheaply. He's in the Finglas area.
