Just dig around a bit to get the best price. Make sure the one you pick
says "Record **TO DVD**". Some create VHS tapes from DVD's.

Also, do a test run with the "newest" tape you have to get all your
settings right. Then just pop the tapes in and go without messing
around. Don't try editing on the fly if the unit offers it.

I'd also suggest letting the unit cool down a couple of hours between
tapes, even if it doesn't feel hot to the touch.

Magnetic tapes start deteriorating within 3 to 5 years. Since they are
now SIGNIFICANTLY older than that you may only get one decent play
through before bits start getting nasty.

I've got a bunch of them with video of my daughters when they were
kids  Still have a player and one old non HD TV.  One of my daughters
asked me a while back what I was doing with them.  Well, what are you
supposed to do with them?  What are we gonna do with all of the DVDs
when they no longer work on anything but have video you don't want to
throw away?.  Anyone know a cheap way to convert VHS to digital?
