VHS to DVD

[MaTTe]

Hey mate, if you can be bothered with a road trip alot of television stations will do it for a resonable fee with good quality(as some products will digitalise the analogue VHS cassettes better than others).

I'd give a few places a ring and go drop it all off, and pickup a bucket full of dvds a few days later

Jilly bean, I'll be waiting with baited breath thanks for that.
 
able,  sorry to hear about your daughter I hope things improve for the better. After they removed the first tumor I had to under go radiotherapy tablet chemotherapy then I.V. chemotherapy, I can understand why they call these treatments kill or cure, they nocked me around a bit so imagine a child going through the same thing.

Matte,  I can't walk no more but I do have a good electric wheel chair, have ramps will travel, disable are able!

Don't worry about me because I've got the doctors and specialists baffled as in August 2007 they gave me 6-12 months to live and I'm still here, so I must be here for a reason and every day is a good day
Regards
Petrolhead

I dont know about anyone else, but when i lost my eye in the crash that took my legs, they did all the tests to see why my eye is blind. There is no reason, except to say that when my van rolled on its side, my head was smashed against the B pillar and the road, which has demaged the nerves. Well they have got me on a stem cell list, but who knows when the politicians will green light the start of treatment. I know i will never get my legs back, but to get my sight back in my right eye would be great. And by all reports i would probably see again with stem cell. It would probably cure most illnesses, so people get your ass into gear and allow the treatment.

As a person who has been intrinsicly involved in children's charities just on 20 years, I have never found a group of 'strangers' to be so humble and open to each other in a public forum like this BuGA site. The generosity of people here is very genuine and I thank you for sharing such personal thoughts. Stay positive guys.

you guys help more then you know.

i received help from "very special kids" and "challenge" and that help kept me going some days.

being time poor afterward i often thought of how to repay these kind people who donate their time and hearts to those who found themselves in these most horrid situations.

i remember visiting smith family in geelong organizing something for my child's school and they asked if my daughter would like a toy... they took us to a room where they had several tables of toys, books, puzzles and i helped my daughter with her selection.

the worker stated that they do not know what to do with all these left over donated items as they were moving and the new place had limited space and it was just after Christmas and the donations would start poring in again.

in a instant i was talking before i had completely worked out a plan... "i will take them to Melbourne and make sure every single item gets to a child with cancer"! i said.

she looked at me and looked at my daughter and said "why didn't we think of that? ".

the next day i had my Mitsubishi so full of toys and games and books that i had only room for my self.

their eyes bulged when they seen all the things squashed up against the windows of my van. i was packed to the roof and under every seat. it took two cars to load up all the toys from my van when the good people from challenge met me in the royal children car park.


i was father Christmas that day.... it was a good day and im not ashamed to say i wiped away a tear after the two cars drove away post hand shakes and thanks.... it only cost me a tank of petrol to know that i was instrumental in over 100 smiles on the faces of those who need to smile the most.

It should do the job

I don't own a video player and the other reason I want to convert them to DVD is to preserve them. I'd really like to watch these movies again so who can come to my rescue?
