I still have some old VHS videos that I need to transfer to DVD's, but the dvd recorder is expensive, what other options do I have?

You could take it to a company that does digital imaging...but maybe more expensive than buying a dvd recorder. Maybe you could borrow from a friend?  Rent one? Tried looking on ebay?

I used to have VHS tapes around.  But since I am in the process of moving I decided to part with all the VHS Tapes.  I did keep some blanks, but all the movies or tv shows in VHS I gave away to disabled veterans.

I bought a dvd recorder at Best Buy the other year for 125.00. As long as you already have a vcr it should not cost you anymore than that.

I have the same issue going on but I haven't put too much thought into yet and I haven't priced the piece of equipment needed to transfer it to dvd.  Depending on how many you want to transfer I would think you could take them somewhere to have them converted over.

you can download a digital copy of your movies and if you get any problems you can always prove that you own a legal copy of the movie.

You can by little convertors that hook up to your VCR with RCA cables.
