Aren't you a stripper in New Jersey?

But, to answer your question. I don't know of any consumer products that
have 2 DVDs in it, one that records.

I would recommend you get a sub $200 deck that will take a tape on one side,
and the DVD burner on the other.

That way you can just copy all your old home movies, simple.

Yeah, I'd like to edit down the 90% garbage. But, when I have time, and I'll
do that on my home PC, with two DVD drives.

So, the point I am making is that you can just buy another internal DVD
drive for the your PC (well, I see web-tv so maybe you'll have to buy a PC)
and copy on it.

That's what I did...
