VHS camera?

[alonewiththemoon]

Does anybody out there have a camera that records onto videotape, or some other kind of camera that produces a format that is easy to transfer to videotape, that I could borrow or you could film me with?  I want to submit an audition tape for an event in NYC in September, and the format has to be VHS (a pain, but I suppose it makes sense given how many different digital formats there are). The deadline for submission is June 1.  I have a dual VHS/DVD-R deck, so a camera that produces DVD-Rs would be fine too.

I'd like to do the taping on either May 24 or 25 at BU's College of Fine Arts around 9pm (or possibly a little before 7pm).  The piece that I'm doing is only about 6 minutes long (the Qntal song that some of you have seen me dance to before, with the wings).  I will happily cook you dinner, ply you with liquor, dance at your next party, whatever in exchange!

Actually I was talking about this with Shannon on Friday night. First of all, AFAIK, there isn't any reason why a standard DVD burned couldn't be transferred to VHS with the proper cabling between the dvd player and the VCR.

That said, I am 99% sure that if I tape with K's digital video camera I can generate either a DVD or a VHS, or both for you. (Actually I am 100% sure I can create a DVD, and if you want to make sure the DVDs I make can be transferred on your deck I can burn a test one of K and Steve Paveo doing Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans" in a Concord Coffee shop. It's a classic.)

Miz Paisley will be doing the filming but thanks for the offer!
