[AT] Backing up tractor pictures and degenerating into ramble.

[Larry D. Goss]

Richard Stolarz gives about eight different techniques for transferring
from VHS to DVD in his book "Mastering Internet Video."  You've just
mentioned two of them.  The thing of it is, if the original material is
already in VHS format, copying it by one of the higher resolution
techniques isn't going to improve it any.  What you want to strive for
is to minimize any additional degradation.  That's where you start
getting into arguments about which technique makes the most sense
financially and technically.

Larry and Ralph,
Y'all aren't the only ones left with dial-up as your only option. I'm
far 
enough
away from the switching office that DSL isn't an option and we don't
have
cable TV out here either. We do have Dish Network, but their internet
access
is prohibitively expensive.
At the present time, transferring VHS (or Beta) to DVD is possible, but
it will
take a lot more equipment than just a PC with a DVD burner and a TV
Video
card to do the job. I noticed a shop in Temple that has a sign out front

advertising
the transfer, but haven't checked on the prices yet.
