My question is whether anyone has experience with transferring video tapes to DVD format. I can imagine advantages - DVDs are more sturdy, accessing specific scenes is easier, they take up less space, they may lend themselves to streaming, etc. Are their drawbacks to transferring video tapes? For example, is there an affordable, easy to use technology for burning DVDs from video sources? Do copyright considerations play a role? Anyone have experience here?
