[CALIBK12] Burning DVDs from VHS tapes

[Nathaniel Powell]

Hi Brian,

As I understand the policy, you are permitted to digitize a video  
tape.  "The DVD is considered your "Back up" copy - which we are all  
legally allowed to have/do. You can keep the Video as your "Master"  
and circulate the DVD."

Hope this helps.

Nat
