I have some old aviation VHS tapes I want to get transferred to DVD, anyone know a good place to get it done?
The photo shop on the street is very expensive so any other info will be appreciated.

You need one of these:
Sony VRD-MC6 - DVD Recorders - CNET Reviews (http://reviews.cnet.com/dvd-recorders/sony-vrd-mc6/4505-9141_7-33786616.html)
Saw them at Best Buy in PANC a few years back - shoulda, coulda, woulda...

I have one of these and it works great. Creates a file on your computer from your your VHS and then you can either just watch it on your computer or use another program like Nero or something and make it into a DVD.
VCR 2 PC - USB Video Conversion System - ION Audio (http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/vcr-2-pc)
If you do Vancouver overnights London Drugs sells them and possibly Future Shop or Best Buy as well. If not you can get them online for well under $100. Think mine was about $60 onsale at LD.

No problem just go to Cathay's IT department. I'm sure they're still using that technology.

Amazon has a few Sony VRD MC6 units left new from $275 second hand from $ 188
What you need is a "Panasonic" DMR-EZ48V recorder. You put a VHS tape in one side and a blank DVD disc in the other side and away you go.
