I could put that on a DVD for you.  I question whether or not the compUSA
DVD recorder/player will actually write the DVD video standard that can be
used in consumer players.  In any event it would be a good idea to convert
it to a digital medium as VHS tapes degrade over time and every time you use
them.  It costs about $100 to do a one hour DVD.  The MPEG encoding alone
will take about two hours.  And that is considered fast right now.
    Paul, you should consider a DVD player as it is going to stick around.
Wherever our television format goes in the future, DVD is going to be the
format for anything NTSC.  A descent player costs $190.

I disconnected the cable. When do I have time to watch TV?
Everybody has a tape machine. Tape is fine.
