I work for a local government and have some questions about converting our
VHS tapes to another medium.

1) What media did you decide to use?  DVD?  Another media?

2) Why did you decide to use that media?

3) How expensive was the conversion?  I estimate that there are about 1,000
tapes to convert.

4) Are there any vendors that you would recommend?   We're located in the
Washington, DC metro area so a vendor from this area
would be preferrable.

5) How soon do you expect to have to migrate to another medium?

6) Where did you find your source of funding for the conversion?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has gone through this process.  Please
reply off-list.

Thanks!
