eagleflyfisher Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Has anyone had this done? Tried Walmart and they said no. Have a bunch of old fishing tapes that I'd like to get converted & copies made. London drugs is 40$ for 2 hours of tape & they have to send it away. Thanks.

murray Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Dave,there is a small mall on the east side of Elbow drive between Southland and Heritage. If I recall correctly, there is a sign up that says they do that kind of copying. I have never used them so I can't comment on prices or quality of work. I drive by there often so I could get some details if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryH Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Roxio VHS to DVD - available at Best Buy for around $70. It has hardware that connects your VHS player to your desktop. Just play the tape and it creates a digital file that you can use to burn a DVD. I did all our VHS movies - over a 100. The software that comes with it is pretty crappy, but I got the job done.

murray Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The name of the place WAS Stopwatch. Doesn't matter anymore because they are not there now, shut down about a year ago. The Son still does this and left a business card with the Barber Shop. The card simply says TRANSFERS. By Ryan Bechthold. 1 403 253 7401 If you call it, let me know how you made out. On another note, I think Costco also does transfers to DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks terry, I did look at a few programs and may go that route. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 We were in Costco today so I asked if they do the transfers to DVD. They gave me a pamphlet and prices are as follows $27.99 for up to 2 tapes that's a total of 2 hours per DVD. Extra copies of the same DVD are $8.59 each.
