All, My understanding (from actually writing to publishers a number of years ago) is that it violates copyright to transfer from one medium to another. I gather tha,( like photocopying and distributing copies to students), this is something that many, many people do anyway. There is a mistaken belief that as long as you don't profit from copying & distributing, copyright goes out the window. We've had copyright attorneys addressthese issues at some AJL conventions, and I think people are always disappointed to learn the facts about home use, fair use, etc. On the other hand, it's been a while since I've explored the issue.

Peggy, I have converted a few and it an easy process. You can buy a DVD/VHS converter for under $300. Put a blank disk in one side and your VHS in the other. Push one button and wait the time it would take to play the movie. Finalize the DVD from the menu and you are done.

We are disbanding our outstanding collection of about 300 films of Jewish interest on video cassette. Does anyone have constructive suggestions on this? Is this sellable? Would any of you be interested in the whole collection or individual videos? Have any of you converted videocassettes to dvd? If so, what was your experience and what were the costs? Thanks so much!
