My husband bought one of those VHS-DVD recorder machines. So the first thing I asked him to test was my VHS copy of "My Little Pony - The Movie".
AND IT WORKED!!! I now have it in fairly decent quality on DVD and I now longer have to worry about damaging the tape if I watch it again.
I think the VHS has only been through my player a few times as it shows wear from some kids who clearly LOVED it. The case is uniformly sunfaded even.
But I'm thrilled - no longer having to wait buffer times if I wanted to watch it online!
And it's a legal copy of a product I already own in another format. :-p
