Re: copy video to computer

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I don't mind if the quality is only the same as on
the camcorder as its just sentimental stuff really that i want to save in
another place so that if the VHS breaks or goes out of use completely i have
it somewhere else. i.e wedding and christenings.
