Hi, The machine is a Toshiba D-VR7KC DVD/Video cassette recorder. It will also record from any device that can be connected with RCA audio/video cables. It works well for my video camera tapes. I also have 8mm and 16mm film but have not found a way to be able to record that. I believe there are machines that will do that but I would imagine they would be very expensive. Its good to have a project to pass the winter months. The storm you had in Texas is heading our way and will appear sometime tomorrow. best regards, Dave > From: "Mrs. G.
