Just curious what they charge to copy tapes in Texas. We are in the process of getting about 50 made of our upcoming cattle sale. I've checked with two different places that they both want in the area of $8.00. I know we won't have time to send them to Texas and get them back in time to send them to all of our customers that have requested them. In the past we have set up about 4 or 5 VCR and copies them ourselves. They are only viewed for a couple of times and then probably either taped over or discarded.

In short order that results in loss of quality as ( n )th generation copies are made of ( n-1)th generation copies. Every next copy loses definition and quality. My experience here in Dallas, Texas, is that there are firms that specialize in this kind of thing . They have a large bank of VCR copiers, that work fast and efficient and use no more tape on the spools as necessary. Above all, the cost is real reasonable and comparable to the retail cost of videotape cassettes. I would be surprised if a company like that could not be found in Portland. Try the yellow pages. If nothing can be found I recommend having it done here.
