Hi sorry if this is a bit confusing but I have around 10 min tapes that you put inside your average camcorder, with loads of family memories on them.

I no longer have a camcorder to be able to link to my PC using a USB lead, so I am just left with all the min tapes.

I remember years a go there was a special VHS tape that had a flip top lid on it, and all you would have to do was put the mini tape inside and then just put the VHS tape inside a VHS player and you could watch it.

my aim is to convert the mini VHS tapes to DVD video. so my plan would be to use this special VHS tape with flip top lid - if there is still such a thing >> then hook my VHS player up to my DVD recorder and record the from the VHS tape >>> bobs ya uncle.!!

any 1 got any ideas if there is such a thing as this special flip top lid VHS tape ???

or no of a better way for me to back the min VHS tapes up ??

You are referring to the VHS-C tape format. You can still buy the VHS-C to VHS converter cassette at your local Radio Shack store or large electronics consumer stores. Or check out any specialty video retailer and ask. They will be glad to help.
