[Claire Hart]

An addendum to the post I just sent:  I know I can record these to VHS, 
and possibly, in the same way, buy a DVD burner at Wal-Mart that 
connects to the t.v. and copy that way (???maybe???).  (Aren't those 
burners around $500!?!?!)  I'm just wanting to play with it on the 
iMac!     - - Thanks again, Claire
