I've had this video myself for many years, and believe me it is absolutely superb and, apart from the trams, the reminders of the Leeds of yesteryear are wonderful.

BrunelHow does one do that? And yes just for personal use (rest of family will exit house when they know I'm watching Leeds trams, albeit a change from 'Coast' & 'Ray Mears').Does it have to be sent off or is there a Leeds provider?

JogonBruno here, not Brunel, not wanting to tread on anyone's toes;If you already own a VHS player and a DVD Recorder, just connect the output on the VHS to one of the inputs on the DVDR using a SCART Lead, play the video and record on the DVDR to make a copy - just make sure the DVDR is set to the correct AUX input (your manual will tell you what's what).If you don't already have a DVD Recorder, and have a lot of VHS you want to copy, and a few quid to spare, you could invest in a combined VHS and DVD recorder, just stick in the video tape and the blank DVD and away you go.This is the kind of thing you'd need:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-DVR20-D ... 794&sr=1-2

A few weeks ago I bought exactly the same machine that Bruno recommends from Amazon. I haven't done much with it yet but it seems superb, and will also do miraculous things that I shall never get to the bottom of. With the price of blank DVDs so very low for large quantities I would recommend setting the Toshiba to record one hour per disc at the highest quality - the results from a fairly poor video tape are very good.
