We have exactly the same issue here at Ramaz. We have a large collection of VHS tapes that we have been using for classroom instruction. Over the past few years, we have added projectors and SmartBoards to every classroom so that it is quite easy to project a DVD for class instruction. This year, we got rid of most of the TV/VHS setups that we had to show the VHS in our collection. If we could convert the VHS tapes to DVD it would be extremely helpful to us. Many of the VHS tapes are not available in DVD. Occasionally the VHS breaks in the player and we are left with nothing. It would be extremely helpful if we could find out what educational and fair use laws are applicable to our situation.
