hey petrol, i know a company here in bris that does all that sort of thing, even records to cd. or you could pick up a $60 dvd recorder and a video recorder, 2 cables and do it yourself.

  Your being a bit hard on petrolhead George remember he just got a scanner he'll be there for days

you can buy a video capture card for your pc.

then you load in the software, hook up you cable from your "video out" and hit record on your computer.

once its on your computer you can use any old dvd burning program to make it a dvd.

that way the money you would have given the mob to do it for you is instead turned into a ongoing usable card in you pc.

i think they start at about the $50 mark.... i would spend a little more though.

There is only one problem, a lot of you don't know about my condition, I have a brain tumor which has paralised me down my left side and the medication that seems to be keeping me alive(25 tablets & 7 needels a day) has given me diabetes, osterporosis and I'm now developing cataracts because of this I now reside in the Brightwater aged care facility in Waikiki.  I'm only 45 years of age and I think the  youngest resident here so I have to rely on other people to do things for me.

im sorry to hear about your condition petrolhead. i had no idea.

i take care of my daughter as she had a medulloblastoma
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medulloblastoma

she lost her eye sight and has limited mobility and will have ongoing side effects for life including fertility and growth problems.. she has also some i.q loss.

i spent one year by her side while my wife and other children battled to keep the house and feed themselves 100 kilometers away. she had six weeks radio therapy on the head and spine and nine months intensive chemo including super strong chemo that required transfusions of stem cells to undo the harm the chemo did to her veins. we nearly lost her more then once while others lost their battle all around and in front of us.

from someone that was inside that life night and day for over a year and has been dealing with the aftermath for three years.... good luck mate!

G'day

My sympathies as well. I know it is a bit hard to explain to others how it is.
My wife has a degenatrive blood disorder that makes life very difficult for her and everyone around her.
She takes a lot of time money and focus, which doesn't leave much for anything else.

People can appear abrupt or even cruel when they don't know what is really going on, but generally most are OK when they know
There is a saying that helps make it all tolerable:
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience."

You could try the local school or computer club. VHS to DVD is very easy and cheap nowadays so there would be a few people around that could do it.
