[Ham-Computers] VHS to DVD

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

John,

Availability should not be a problem. You can get DVD blanks on a spindle at 
Staples and Office Max that are marked 4X to 16X from Fuji, Maxel, Memorex 
and store generic non-brand names. Now if you ask for a 4X only, that might 
pose a problem. I never have, just guessing. I just purchased several 
hundred last month.
