He says, you need a VCR, connection-wires, and a computer with the software to do the DVD encoding. You do not need to hook it up to a TV.
I’ve reminded him that he was going to teach a teenager to do this, and then I would pay said child a piecework rate to copy tapes to DVD. I’d really like to have my “Moody Science” videos on DVD. A guy in a suit does science experiments and talks about the Bible; the kids really like them.
and if you get them on DVD you can also back them up on a USB
The VHS-to-DVD recorder is one unit, with the VHS slot and DVD tray. I’ve read the instructions, but they look like a foreign language to me, since it seems they all want me to use the TV. My question is “WHY? My own twisted logic says the unit should function with just being plugged in, but I don’t KNOW because the instructions don’t make sense to me. (CFIDS at work.)

I don’t need to watch the movies as they are being recording. I just want to record in the shortest time possible while I’m doing something else.
Back from Busdaddy’s. Yesterday was busy and somewhat confusing, but we’re through it. He is now angry, and that’s a good sign, as he has passed through the shock. Now he will be able to function.
I’m almost as fed up as he is with the real estate company and the insurance agents. Nobody wants to do any work these days. They all want the victim to do the footwork, even though they are in shock. THAT aggravates me.
So tomorrow morning, I will finally get to finish my own projects...paying bills. I put that and grocery shopping on hold to help Busdaddy, but now I need to get my own stuff done.
