If a DVD/VHS conversion setup costs approximately 200 bucks, and DVDs are approximately 1.00 per disk, how many VHSs must you copy in order to make it cheaper than buying new DVDs on amazon for 2.99 apiece?
Answer: 100. Careful though, all the VHS tapes you'll actually want to copy will be copy protected.

There's only so much you can do with a poor-to-fair quality medium, and the years have really not been kind to VHS (figuratively and physically [tape degradation]).
