Member Share Tip - Feb 2010

Heard during the Member Share segment of the February 2010 meeting:

Several companies package the software and cables: Magix "Rescue Your Videotapes" or Roxio "Easy VHS to DVD" [also does records]. There are also several video tutorials online. Here is one: http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Convert-Old-VHS-Tapes-to-DVD-75782271
