I thought there might be a way of using my PC, I was hoping that a few "cables and stuff" might do the trick.
As much as I like The MacKenzies I can't afford £80 for the one video :(

there prolly is a PC friendly way of doing it...but it's simpler to just plug in yer Video to a DVD recorder...tho saying that i wouldn't be supprised if there's a way to plug your video into your PC too...

Looking up at my videos, I've only got eight that I would want to copy:
m*****n - Crusade
m*****n - From Dusk To Dawn
The Cult - Love + Electric
New Model Army - Videos 86 - 89
Fat Slags
Sid The Sexist
and, Hearts - Cup Glory, all of which I'm sure I could get on DVD for less than the cost of a DVD recorder, and much of better quality than a video copy.

If you have a video in connection on the PC (assuming it has a DVD burner) it should be easy, normally a yellow phono connector or SVHS input. You would also have to connect audio out from the source to the soundcard. SCART to phono, plus a mini jack connector should do it…
