I called Video Connection today to see how much it costs to put a VHS on DVD....and do you know what they told me!?!??!?!? For 2 hours, four episodes of Friends to be put on DVD would cost me $70!!! I am sooo mad! I didn't think that it would cost that much!

DarleneIllyria · 11-10-2002, 09:01 PM

Damn. That is an insane price for just 4 episodes.

FOLrocks1 · 11-10-2002, 09:04 PM

I thought it might be $10 at the most! All I wanted to do was put all the season 9 episodes from NBC so far on DVD! Stupid bastards! LOL!

Mr. Shy Guy · 11-10-2002, 09:09 PM

That's ridicoulous! I hope that's not the same price everywhere.

Kay Scarpetta · 11-10-2002, 09:14 PM

OMG $70?!?! That's ridiculous...

TV Favorites · 11-10-2002, 09:26 PM

I'd just wait until the prices for recorders and blank DVD's came down and buy one myself. That's what I'm doing.

Jinny Girl · 11-10-2002, 09:40 PM

am i the only person who DOESN'T think 70 bux is that much money?... I used to buy pants that cost 70 bux, and shirts that cost 50. but thats because i had issues.

fr00ti · 11-10-2002, 09:43 PM

Georgia's on my Mind · 11-10-2002, 09:54 PM

It's not that $70 is a lot, it's that its for 4 half hour episodes. Pants, I understand

The technology to do it yourself is already here, it's just cost prohibitive for most. I'd do like TV Favorites is doing...just be a little patient and in a few years you can probably do it yourself for cheaper. Even if you end up spending way more than $70 on the equipment (which you surely would), you would be able to use it over and over and over again to record many DVDs.
