Yes.  I picked up a spindle of + and a spindle of
- at Costco while they were on sale.  I suspect I
will just return/exchange the - for a second
spindle of +.

You've taken the VHS/DVD appliance approach to
transcribing the tapes.  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to how to do this with a "PC"?
I imagine a video capture card is all that is
required?  Or, do things like MacroVision
dick with even this type of capture?

Thx
