VHS to DVD converter
We have a lot of VHS tapes we'd like to convert to DVDs. Why are converters still so expensive?? Nearly $200. Been about that for several years . Anyone have suggestion where to find one for less?

Yeah, well maybe DVD is a dying technology, and maybe it won't lay down in its grave quite as quickly as some of you seem to think.
And DVD's seem to last a pretty long time so far. I have some that I bought when DVD's first came out, that would be 20 years and counting, and they play just fine. And a real plus: since it has no moving parts as HDD's do, and no memory to get wonky like SSD's or flash drives/memory, it works with no worries. I also don't have to worry about that online storage company going belly-up or me forgetting to pay storage fees and losing access to all that digital storage. Or as Amazon and Apple have demonstrated, have my data removed at someone's whim.
Yeah, I think DVD's are going to be around for some time to come.
