Moderators Travis In Austin Posted August 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2009 I was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with VHS to DVD recorders. I have several hundred old VHS videotapes of clients doing Field Soberity Tests and they are taking up way too much space. We keep them around because we cross-reference them by arresting officer, etc. and I want my staff to convert them to DVD. So I'm looking for somthing that has good dubbing quality, ease of use, reliable, etc. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I was thnking about this last night. I have a lot of VHS family videos and I want to put them on DVD's. Maybe we should be thinking about putting them on Blu-ray??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted August 22, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2009 I was thinking about that myself, but I need to have one disk per client, and the tapes are usually less than 45 minutes so Bluray would be a bit of overkill for me.

JJkizak Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 You can write Bluray at an 8 meg bitrate (instead of 25 meg rate) with 30 minute segments to standard DVD-R discs. You do however have to capture the VHS, edit it and burn it requiring much software and equipment. I have not had any experience with machines that will convert VHS directly to DVD but I assume they are available. If you want to go fast you have to have a fast car.
