VHS or ßetaMax? If need be that company that advertises on Rush can transfer older graphic material to DVD; however, probably cannot do it with copyrighted material. My son's entertainment center that we use has no audio/video analog inputs or outputs - all HDMI. What a load of @#^%$ I got a HDMI digital to analog converter and plugged it in to a RF modulator to transmit the main amplifier / switcher {cable, DVD, etc.} to tv's throughout the house on channel 3 {NTSC}
***But if that doesn't work I do believe the great-grands enjoy our yard and the sandbox and that giant rope swing more than any television anybody's got***
Probably best to keep the kids away from TV; it is designed to corrupt the children - no set moral values + gratuitous sex and violence.

MemoryBox or something like that? Yeah, but they are WAY SPENDY even with the discounts they offer (along with the torrent of email you get if you screw up and give 'em your address).
And yeah, that copyright deal is a show stopper.
That old VCR of mine does transfers VCR-to-DVD but practically spit on me when I tried that one time to make a DVD of one of my collection.
Oh, well. I've got to dig into that VCR for cleaning etc and I may just "adjust" some things while I've got the patient on the table. (Big ol' sinister grin)
BTW, no worries about the 4yo twins getting excess exposure to TV. Their Mommy despises The Box almost more than I, the girls are 'way smart/decided all by themselves that they didn't need or like it either and would rather play outside to the point that we've had to restrain 'em from running out the door into thunderstorms.
Only times they do watch things on TV, they'll sit for a few minutes and then launch into their own play world with the TV as background noise.
