didn't Jessops used to do this? Not been to one in a long time.

Yup they still do, just found the info on line. Expensive though...I probably have around thirty hours worth....thats around £300.

I'm also looking at how I can do it at home if I can find a way of playing the tapes etc.

Do you have, or know anyone with, a PC with decent video capture capabilities??? Should be able to link a video player up with some audio/video leads (the yellow, red and white ones) and capture it.

You can then burn to dvd. Just a thought.:search:

I'm sorted if I can get it into the PC (well, Mac actually). The problem is that I have no way of playing back these mini vhs tapes in the first place. I could buy an old vhs recorder and an adapting tape (the mini vhs tape goes into the adapter, then into the recorder), and then play it back, hopefully connecting it to the computer either direct or via my mini DV camera.

Mini DV camera should come with mini usb lead to connect straight up to pc/mac. thats your best bet buddy

:) It does / is indeed. Its the mini vhs tapes that are the buggers causing the issue if you catch my drift. I appreciate your input though.
