I taped a show on HBO sports onto a VHS tape and I wanted to make my friends and family some copies. Seems my VCR will copy from a CD to a tape but I need the copies from a VHS. Any suggestions? Maplewood Camera wants $29.99 per copy!

Thanks.

Are you trying to do a VHS to VHS copy, or VHS to DVD? I take it you have a "VCR" with VHS and DVD bays.

I just figured it out. I just need two VCR's which I have and I can dub the tapes! The instructions are in the VCR manual which luckily I kept. Just saved myself $90! Thanks,

That's what I would have suggested. If you are in the market, dual tray DVD recorders http://www.buy.com/prod/Samsung_DVDTR520_Dual_Tray_DVD_Recorder/q/loc/111/201975 299.html
or DVR/DVD recorders http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=3 69890&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation

would make this type of thing faster, easier, and higher quality.
