Not wanting to wait to investigate all the different ways to save my old VHS tapes on a suitable new media I went away and bought a stand-alone VCR and a stand-alone DVD/VCD player. The DVD/VCD player does play UK and Australian DVDs as well as fake copies of VCDs. It also has a USB interface and I hope to be able to play all the movies a friend from work supplies me from his HDD.
Connecting the DVD player was straight forward, but it was a long time since I connected a stand-alone VCR. Our previous one was a combined VCR/DVD player and just plugged in and the one before was built into the TV, but eventually I remembered and it now works. I imagine they will not sell them much longer, so just wanted to get one before they disappear.
