we have a samsung DVD/video which we used to put all our family videos on to disc. So we now have our wedding on DVD.

Lisa Many thanks for taking the trouble. If anyone else would like to share their recommendations with me, I'd be most grateful Caz *it would make a smashing prezzie, haven't thought of anything so far... this couldn't be more suitable, lol*

yep its possible coz ive got one and ive done it lol and they are brill Rosex

caz we bought our from QVC and just checked their website and i think this is the one. Item Number 555581 Funai 3 in 1 DVD Recorder, 160GB Hard Drive & VCR with Live Pause QVC Price £293.75 UK Postage & Packaging £6.45 Save! Buy two or more & save on postage and packaging Save space and combine all those must-have technologies in this single neat machine from Funai. The 3-in-1 unit contains a DVD player/recorder, VCR and a 160GB hard drive to record on to. So you can record shows you want to watch but not save on to the hard drive, or record movies you want to keep on to disc. This great unit also allows you to transfer footage from your old VHS tapes on to DVD, so you can preserve precious memories such as weddings or birthdays for up to 20 times longer. Hope that helpd, but as i said not cheap when we bought it it was a one time special.

I appreciate that CHEERS!!

Caz Im at work at the moment but will be home at 4 ish, i will have a look and log on at home to let you know.

Lisa Dare I ask you to advertise on here and say which model etc If not, do me a favour and pm it? Ta Caz

i have a combination unit that has video, dvd and a hard drive. So can copy from one onto hard drive and then transfer to the other, It can also tape from the tv on to either. But was not cheap and still unsure how to use all the features lol

Very interesting. I've got loads of videos and our old player has started to play up. OH is reluctant to buy a new one and all this is new to me. Didn't even think it was pos,, Dah! Caz

Mine is made by Funai, but am sure there are better ones out there somewhere...I still got loads of videos I watch so I need a vhs player!! How dare 'they' phase them out, I love to know who 'they' are...they keep making decisions for me I don't like!! lol Nanna-Moo ;-))

Nana Moo.................cheers....I thought that they ( whoever they are ) were phasing out VHS players....but a combined one sounds interesting.... I might send for the VHS.....probably cheaper as now old fashioned

You can buy computer software that will do this this too. You just need the requisite connectors and stuff. I would suggest googling, ot your local photo processing shop may do it,or have details.

I have a combined vhs/dvd player. Am supposed to be able to record both ways, not tried it yet though, so can't tell you if it any good!! Nanna-Moo ;-))

Thank you Tracy.........again surprised when a female answers technical things...

You can buy DVD recorders. Some can be attached to VHS players too. Always look at the features when buying. Some recorders won't take AV links and will only take the TV-out.

I can by two tapes for £8-50 each but the same on CVD cost twice as much.......My DVD player is playback only but are there machines that also record
