I hope that someone responds that has a decisive answer. The copyright guidelines have always been vague and have been interpreted in many different ways.
As far as I understand, the one- time copying “rule” is for a one-time showing for a class. Any other type of copying or transferring the VHS to a disc is considered violation of copyright unless one has received permission from the copyright holder. If an item is in poor condition, a copy is only allowed if that item is no longer being produced. If it is available in either VHS or DVD it must be purchased in an available format. Please correct me if I am wrong.

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!
