bought a dvd recorder in aldi last week for €100, partly for this purpose. most camcorders which used the 'little' tapes came with a full sized adapter, and as I have tuned in the dvd recorder to receive the video I intend to transfer those old vhs copies to dvd this way. only program that the dvd recorder cant recognise is tg4 which ( around here anyway) comes as channel 68. keeps getting it mixed up with tv3 ( ch 66) so I have to find out how to fine tune it to tg4.
