| 76685 | 2002-09-05 07:13:00 | I have lots of old video tapes. Some clog up my video player because of mildew. Before they all go bad, I thought about copying the still good ones to DVD but that's too expensive (writer + the disks). So I guess I can tolerate a tape copied to several CDs instead. Can anyone tell me whats required in the way of hardware (I have a CD writer) and software for both the transfer and playback to a TV? Also, how many CDs per hour of tape (low quality OK)? Thanks. |

The CD writing software should be able to set up the CD to automaticly load when put in to a DVD player | NathanTheKind (472) | ||
