I do it a lot. It's easier than trying to run things into the computer, and I don't have to worry about disk space. Record radio shows, mixes (when I used to DJ). Put a lot of vinyl onto VHS when I was getting rid of the last of the 12" singles. Just get a VCR that allows you to change in

Oh, Will the six hour mode work OK without really noticing what this extra error will bring? I suppose the one thing is it will convert the audio in to a video signal so that all VCR's will record it. I kind of like the idea of having track markers, but how that really can be implemented, I'm not
