AL FASOLDT TECHNOFILE

I get asked a couple of times a week how to convert video tapes to DVDs. Every now and then a veteran of the pre-VHS years asks how to transfer old home movies onto DVDs, too.

Let's start with home-movie transfers.
You can do it if you have a camcorder and are willing to turn part of your home into a projection studio. Basically, you clean the lens and film path on your old projector - or rent one just for the occasion - and hang a sheet on the wall.

Place the projector about three feet away from the wall and project one of your movies onto the sheet. Put your camcorder onto a tripod or a steady surface and zoom it in so the movie fills the viewfinder.
