I have an issue.
I have a lot of Jeff Newman instructional videos along with the tablature that comes along with each video including:
Pedal Steel Guitar Techniques 1&2
Steel Guitar Jubilee
Just Play The Melody
E9 Chord Dictionary
Up From The Top D Lever
Up From The Top F Lever 1&2
Pedal Steel Guitar Illustrated
Bandstand Backup 1&2
Give Me An Intro
The Seventh Chord Connection
The Minor Chord Connection 1&2
C6th Swinging 1&2
No Speed Limit.
My problem is I no longer have a VHS player and would like to have the CD/DVD's instead of the VHS format videos.
Does anyone have experience with VHS to CD/DVD or is that unethically reproducing someone's copyrighted material, or is it possible to have a home VHS to CD/DVD machine that does this?
Perhaps just buy a VHS machine?
I really would like to avoid repurchasing the courses I have, if possible.
Thanks |

| I don't believe it would be unethical at all if it's for your own use. In fact many years ago I asked Jeff if it would be a problem if transfered my VHS tapes to Beta format,he laughed and said you can do anything you want after you've bought them from me! |

| As long as you own (bought) the material legally, I do not see any issue from a fair use standpoint. Again, I am not a lawyer but as long as you use it for you only, I think it not a problem. |

| I have a VCR to DVD burner that works really well. Some VHS tapes were coded with anti-copy that doesn't permit you to copy. But most independently produced videos transfer easily. |

Again, thanks for the replies. Trey, thanks for the response.
Turns out, Melissa, over at Jeffran Music has a great solution. She sold me just the DVD's without the tablature.
Very helpful. |
