RE: [Harp-L] Recording advice needed

Me too, Joe. Sorry about that. I thought you were speaking about capturing
the video. Upon re-reading your post I see that you were only talking about
the audio. Use Audacity.

You said VHS so I was assuming video. If it is only audio, then the job 
is much easier. Dave's suggestion to use Audacity is good.

GoVideo makes a combo VHS/DVD player/recorder.  You can play a VHS tape 
in one side and record it on to a DVD on the other.  I have one and have 
copied most of my collection of VHS instruction to DVD.  Perhaps you can 
find someone near you who has one (I think they cost about $200 
nowadays.  I was able to pick mine up used for $69 though.)

It can be done with a personal computer and the right hardware and 
software.  But not all of us have the necessary stuff to do it.  It 
requires a fast computer, fast video capture hardware, and the proper 
software.

If it is not copyrighted and you don't sending it to me I will do it for 
you.  We can discuss it offline.
