Hi again!
Yes, we do have a DVD recorder, but DH gets upset pretty much everytime he uses it because he can never remember how it works that's why I was thinking the camcorders that record directly to DVD would be a better option for him. I would transfer the tapes myself, but with a full-time job, a 10 year old and a very demanding 4 year old, I just can't find the time to do it.
