Will this software allow me to capture VHS into a video file? I already have a video capture device, I just need a video capture software.

If the software could do that, which I'm not sure if it can or not. It would probably crash every time trying to transfer or convert. Don't waste your money on this product. Enough said.

You need some way to kill the write protect either by a "Macrovision Killer" or a digital converter. It will not Dub as I hoped it would. I have not tried to copy a protected VHS through the PC yet.

I am currently using the Colossus card to convert standard VHS tapes to dvd and it works great! You will have to transcode the output of the card to MPEG2/AC3 format to put it on DVD as the card only records to MPEG4-AVC format. Also, use S-video or component video input if possible.

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

This will enable your computer to correctly "read" the video by disabling the copy protection, however you will still need a program & input device such as this Elgato device available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_electronics?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin;=Elgato&node;=172282)This combination will allow you to copy all VHS tapes, including protected ones.

If your VHS tapes are getting old you may have problems like that. Also Head placement with "tracking" sometimes causes loss of audio and/or video.I would say the Video adapter either works or it doesn't work. The rest is either VHS Equipment of conversion software drivers. Those are my thoughts.

Yep, I'm gonna second Paul here. It doesn't matter what format the tape is (beta, VHSC, etc.), as long as you have the AV out it will work just fine. This is by far the best device I've found. It cost more than some, because in this case, you actually do get what you pay for.

Depends on what you want to do and what kind of inputs your TV has. If you want it to play VHS and DVD on your TV, it has HDMI, S-Video, and composite video outputs. If your TV can accept one of these, then that works. It does not have an RF receiver. So, If you want to record incomming television, it won't work. If you want to copy VHS to DVD (the reason I bought it), then all you need a monitor (your TV or computer monitor (HDMI can be cheaply converted to a monitor's DVI)) so you can read and operate it's menues.

I have a Magnavox recorder for several years, It records VHS and DVD'S, plays both kind, records both and record from VHS to DVD'S. In fact I have put all my VHS'S on to DVD'S. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. It still works great!

If you are asking if you can burn the VHS contents to the dvd drive, no. The DVD drive on this unit is just a player. Check out Panasonic VHS/DVD recorders. I have one that records VHS to DVD -- it works beautifully, but is very old and no longer available. You may be able to find one from a third-party seller.

According to the menu is will convert VHS to DVD but I have not used that part of the program... I use a program called USB TV Box which does as excellent job. Sorry, cannot answer your question. Robert

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

Yes, this device allows copying from a VHS tape to your computer and then to a DVD.It's a 3 or 4 step process, but it does work!

This unit dubbs VHS to DVD. You only need a video cable out to a monitor to view. You can also dub your cam corder to DVD. I burned all my family videos to DVD. Works awesome.

I have only used this device to capture video from VHS tapes and import it into Pinnacle Studio for editing. Do a Google search and you will find the instruction manual online available for download and study. That might tell you what you want to know.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I used Elgato Video to convert movies from VHS to .mp4 files then move them to an external HD.
