This process is only illegal if the material is under copyright. We have a number
of videos in our collection that are property of the school (much like the football
tapes mentioned earlier). I have had a number of requests for information on how
we transferred our non-copyright videos to DVD, and will send that information to
the requestors tomorrow.

I have a similar request. I have some teachers who stilluse filmstrips
and they want those transferred to DVD. Does anyone know an inexpensive
way to transfer a filmstrip to a DVD?

Friends
I am trying to copy our football coach's archive of old game films from
VHS to DVD. I am using a GoVideo dual deck (VHS & DVD) recorder for
this. I'm working on a tape from 1993 and am getting a message that it
cannot be copied because of copyright! Does anyone know what I can do -
these are tapes from 1993 that student managers taped while the games
were being played (you know - the coaches - players & game film thing).
All I did in 1993 was take the individual game films and tape them on to
1 master VHS tape. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. TIA.
(I will post a hit if there is any interest.)

IANAL, but my understanding of current U.S. copyright law is that the
right to adaptation, which includes changing format, is the prerogative
of the copyright holder. So if the movie, filmstrip, etc., is still
under copyright protection, it may not legally be copied to DVD. If you
own the copyright -- which may be the case with school athletic films,
home movies, etc. -- then you may transfer it to any format you like.

I don't think copying football game films that team managers shot is illegal. There
are several ways to change it from VHS to DVD. One fairly simple way if you don't
have the right software is to use a digital video camera and plug the video and
audio out from the?VCR to the camera in. Many cameras come with cords that can do
this. Record the old VHS video onto the camera using the VCR setting. Once on the
digital tape you can then load the video onto the computer and?into an editing
program and then record to DVD.
