Hi seeker of knowledge,
I’ve worked for more than a year on transferring VHS unavailable on DVD. I use a Toshiba DVR620KU that IT had sitting on a shelf. The image quality is as good as the VHS
it comes from. Recording is in real time (ie. it can take hours). I have the machine on a cart with a TV in my office and start it copying whenever Circ brings me something, glancing up when it’s close to the time it should end. Up to 8 hours can fit on
1 DVD, so I put multi part titles together.
Some VHS are protected, and the machine won’t copy them. <sigh>
Our copyright policy only lets faculty take these out to use in class.
Hope this helps
Janet

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Advice on VHS to DVD transfer
Hello collective wisdom,
I'm hoping to get some feedback on a technical problem.
I'm working with a faculty member who wants to convert VHS tapes to DVD. We're unsure of the *best* way to get the content off VHS - doing it ourselves (there is a team of 5 working on this, plus student assistance) or outsourcing.
Have any of you worked on a similar transfer project?
If you did the transfer yourself (in your library), what equipment did you use and how was the image quality? If you outsourced the transfer process, can you recommend a company?
Any advice would be appreciated! Feel free to reply off-list to

Thank you!
