Copy of home video? (take 2)
| 
Feb 18 03:55 UTC 2001 |
I entered an item about this in fall, but kind of got bogged down in the
quality issues.
I have a home-made video of about half an hour on a VHS cassette of
Sarah talking and being generally cute. I'd like to make several copies
of this to send to various relatives. The borrowed video camera that
was used to make the tape is no longer available.
I'd like to get this done soon, like in the next week or so.
What's the right way to get it done?

Find somebody with a decent VCR, hook the two together using the video/audio
jacks (the TV/antenna jacks degrade the picture quite a bit) and make a copy.
This is about 95% of the quality you'd get if you went nuts and spent a lot
of dough, and should be plenty good enough.

Scott's suggestion is pretty good but if you dont have the time to do
that and have the extra money, I think there are places around that will
do it for you.

Um...my sister did this a few years ago. I am thinking a place like Ritz
camera might do it. I am not sure though so I would call them before
driving over there. I would call her and ask but she ran off and got
married on Friday so she's not home.

If Oak Park isn't too far, you can try the Transfer Zone (many places
that provide video services actually send the work to them). In
addition to video copies, they also do conversions (8mm or slides to
VHS as well as between international standards).

Video Source on Packard (near the old Age of Aquarium) will do it.
