The Order of the Iron Test Pattern will be selling the ADS Instant DVD
product line to raise money to support itself. These units will take any
kind of analog signal: Satellite receiver, DVD player, VHS, Betamax, etc and
gives a USB output to a computer that can burn a DVD. It comes with editing
software also. Contact me off-line for more information or go to
www.OITP.org in a few days and see the latest newsletter which will have
more information about this when I finally get it finished and posted.
