Masque, I found part of your response a bit sarcastic & not called for, of course I read your original post, its there on the forum, how could I not read it. Maybe if you read my post in a different way what I was/am trying to convey would be clearer. I am aware of the limitations of current hardware & software used by VM/V+ box manufacturers, my belief/hope was/is that there was/is hardware & software available that would enable relatively easy & swift transfer of recorded content, even if it meant some degree of quality loss. If you had responded that, say, yes it is possible but that would be, overall, way too expensive to implement for a relatively small improvement, I would have said to myself, well yes fair comment. But never mind & thanks again for taking the time to respond.
