Hi Jim,
I can see your point. If fidelity was what we were looking for, it wouldn't
make sense. But, what we're looking for is "watchability".

My Mom, who is in her late 80s, wanted to see a TV show on her TV.
The show aired in December of last year.
I found the show as a torrent but could not download due to no seeds.
I then found the show, in bits and pieces, on YouTube.
But, my Mom doesn't have Internet access.
She does have a combination DVD player TV we bought her a few years ago.
So ... it should be obvious now ... by converting YouTube to DVD, she can
now watch the TV show on her TV.

Do you know of any other way for her to watch a TV show that is long gone
on her TV?

If you do, please let me know as this method is the best I could come up
with but I'm no genius. I just asked you guys for help, that's all.

Jim
