VHS to DVD/Digital Converter in the library
by Andrea Estelle 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Hi All, We have tried to add a VHS to DVD converter station in our library so that patrons can convert their home movies into a usable format, unfortunately the first machine we tried only works half the time and not at all for any of the mini-cassettes in a converter. I'd like to find a better solution and am wondering if anyone out there has a machine or a PC setup that works really well to convert VHS tapes to DVD and/or digital and if so can you let me know what you are using? I was excited how many patrons wanted to use this service and then bummed when our machine seems to be a dud! Hopefully we can find a better solution soon! Thanks, Andrea Andrea Estelle, MLIS Library Director .
