My father in law has asked me what would be the best way to still be able to view his old collection of VHS tapes once he's dragged himself into the twenty first century and bought a nice flat screen tv. I've given him a list of what I think may be his options:
1/ Connect the VCR to the tv using a scart lead - Not sure if this would actually work. Picture would be pretty poor.
2/ Transfer the videos over to DVD - Just connect the VCR to the DVD player, press a few buttons. Time consuming. Picture would be pretty poor.
3/ Pay a company to transfer the videos to DVD - expensive. Picture would be pretty poor.
4/ Forget the whole thing, dump the VCR and tapes - Nobody ever looked quite as cool as they thought they did in the eighties, anyway.
Does anyone have any thoughts on any of the above options? Apart from option four, which isn't one.
