Hi Paul! I'm wondering if WGBH has the technology to copy to DVD from VHS tapes? If they could, they could set up a rental service like Netflix and now Blockbuster does on line. I pay about $20 a month to rent DVD's that I don't have to return until I return them. It could be great if WGBH could do something like this. If so, I would be glad to rent from them, instead of Netflix! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Henrichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.
