I'm rather in a quandary about the releases coming this September, I have to say. My gut reaction is to boycott it (just like I have all the other DVD releases), but I can also see the point of view that others have put forward on this site - that it is, at least, an official Laserdisc transfer (and will certainly last longer than my poor little tapes...).
As far as DVD recorders go, certainly in the UK, it seems to me that you would have to step down the quality quite a bit to record the OOT from VHS from start to finish, am I right? Are there any dual layer recorders available yet?
I think it's time I upgraded my PC - presumably one could hook up a VHS recorder to a video card and transfer to DVD via appropriate software?
I'm not neglecting the good advice about the DVDs already available, by the way. I just would quite like to succeed in making my own DVDs, you know? Is that silly?
