Check this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... =WDVW&rd=1. It's some guy from the UK on eBay selling Captured In Time And Space on DVD. I don't know if it's a legal release. I seriously doubt it, but I've ordered one anyway. There's a few left, so grab your chance.

That guy is selling bootleg copies of the VHS cassette, which is illegal. He is also violating eBay's terms and conditions by offering it for sale there. I would strongly discourage people from buying those "DVDs."

Well, I have the original VHS, so I don't think it would be illegal to have a copy on DVD for myself. I'll wait and see what kind of DVD this is.

Perhaps I was too enthousiastic in posting this link.

Hmmm, the item "has ended". Gee, I wonder why?

I think it's perfectly cool to have your VHS cassette converted to DVD. There was a guy here before who was offering that service.

To me the issue here is the other guy, who is doing something illegal by making copies of a copyrighted work and then selling them for profit.

Kirkman your right. There nothing in moral or illegal if you own a VHS copy of it and you want it converted to DVD. There are camera/video stores in my area that specialize in that.
