I'm trying to help my dad copy some of his favourite DVD's onto his archos and neither of us are technical minded! It says you can record from a video recorder but nothing about dvds, but the VCR is so outdated so I don't understand! The Archos is a new gadget. Does anyone know how to do this or will he have to buy extra accessories? We have all the leads but it only gives you instructions for recording from TV, satellite or VCR. Any geeks welcome! Thanks.
