I have transfered close to 100 of my home tapes to DVD. It is pretty easy to do on a VCR/DVD recorder. I have a Magnavox I got at Walmart. It has done a good job and I still have to find time to do more of them. I donated my VCR tapes to the local library after I copied them over to DVDs. You could ask at places like the hospital if they would be interested in the VCR tapes. They have lending libraries as well for the patients usually.
