But isn't that a violation of copyright if it is a pre-recorded video tape?
That is my gripe about this situation, you purchased the media and
"content", but don't have the right to bring it forward as technology
changes.
Like you I've bought commercial DVDs of all my commercial VHS tapes
only because the VHS was in 4:3 & the DVDs are in 16:9 widescreen so
I can watch the tapes on our old TV & the DVDs on the newer widescreen.
I wouldn't blame anyone that recorded commercial cassette tapes to cd
or commercial VHS to DVD citing fair use laws & as long as they don't
sell the copies that they've made & I don't believe that they could
get into trouble. OBTW there are many commercial VHS tapes that will
never get to DVD because they never sold enough of the those VHS
tapes to make it worthwhile.
