Be careful with the antique VHS player. They no longer make them and the only way you can buy one it to get it used. There is a place in Minneapolis that will transfer your tapes on to disks for 30 bucks a copy. I'm going to have it done to a few of mine someday but, Minneapolis is 130 miles from me.
OP - purchase a BluRay. Not-expensive!
Caveman - sent you a PM.
Transfer your DVD (tapes) to DVR yourself (at home).
Cost is about .05 cents (or less) for Blank DVRs -
a bit more for reusable DVR RWs.
Copy "either way" - but no reason to copy to DVD tapes.
Check Amazon (and others) for both new and used -
"DVD Video Recorder/Video Cassette Recorder"
*NO* tuner needed. (You still can also record "line in" if you wish)
BTW - although there are other (digital) options, it would seem the OP is not (yet) at that level due to his Question.
So easy solution/s seem appropriate.
(Buy the BluRay - w/ or w/out whistles & bells = cheap!)
They are "backwards compatible" - also play std DVDs
And - would guess this thread should really be moved to Tech ??
