[gui-talk] Help With using a DVD Recorder/ VCR Combo

[Mike Freeman]

Kerry:

the reason you haven't received a reply might well be because no one has an 
answer an few people deem it necessary to send one-liners of "I don't know".

You may have to -- gasp -- have someone read you the instruction manual.

Up with readers!

> I'd like to also take my movies I've recorded off the TV onto VHS and

> Also, how do you know when you can use single layer DVD-r's and you need

> So if a VHS is 2 hours long, then do you set the recording mode for 2

> So if the movies are like 2 hr 30 minutes, and the next setting after 2 
> hours is 4 hours then do you set it to that setting.
