Hi Everyone, I called the audio-visual service I've used in the past to duplicate my VHS tapes. Here's what I was told. They can transfer your VHS tapes to DVD. I didn't ask what that would cost as there would be many variables (i.e., length of the VHS tapes, how many would fit on one DVD, and how many copies you'd want of the DVD). Walmart may even be able to do that for you inexpensively. Would make wonderful Christmas presents. Because VHS has two fields (audio and visual). You can only capture the audio to a CD (this is what the transcriptionists use to transcribe). This particular place I called charges $85/hr to pull still images off of VHS. They can do about 15-20 images/hr depending on how well organized the information is that you give them. He explained that if you "zero out the counter" and then note at what time the pictures appear on the VHS, they can maximize the process. The software I mentioned before "Snappy or Snap It" may have some "motion jitter or bluriness." I saw a demonstration years ago and although the freeze frame technology was great, I don't recall seeing a finished snapshot off of the equipment. The tech I spoke to said they can generally get a better quality photo than you would get using the software above. I hope this information helps some. At least you have some of the industry terminology to go forward. Lois Hetrick Stewart
