Cameron,

Yes DVDs can be copied but so can the VCDs I would make and so can VHS
tapes. My friend has a DVD burner which he just paid $600 for and the format
that the CD comes out in is called DVD-R. Not all DVD Players can play DVD-R
and VCD. I suggest and will keep suggesting that we use VCD's that I know
how to make and am willing to make for NANFA as a favor. Whoever is wanting
these VCD's made should please contact me to discuss exactly what is needing
to be on these "American Current VCDs" and how I can exactly format them.

Thanks,

Henry Deford
