VHS Movies: Will they record to DVD so I can get rid of the bulky VHS tapes?

Be careful what DVD blanks you purchase. DVD+Rs that I recorded only played back on this machine. I was about to try DVD-R when the machine seemed to lose its control logic. Now it does not recognize any DVDs as readable or writable. It is not that old and has been flakey for a while.

VHS will not fully up-convert to HD due to VHS is SD material & hardware. Your picture will improve somewhat, but not to HD quality. I hope this will help.

Yes, you can record to VHS or DVD. This is not a DVR so there is no internal hard drive to record to. There is only composite and s-video inputs on the machine which have a maximum video resolution of 480i; make sure your video output source corresponds for the best picture.

Yes! This is why I bought it. I can convert my VHS tapes to DVD discs. It works perfectly. The only thing you can't do is watch tv on another channel when you are recording a program.

I have not found a way to do that. I have been able to copy some VHS titles but most, including Disney, I have not been able to. Unless there is a feature I haven't found yet, I would look for a different unit.

As I remember it recorded from both ; and upscaled in either vhs or dvd. But again it has been awhile. Hope it works out for you.

I've used them to back up older VHS tapes using a combination VHS/DVD-Recorder without any problem. Though many VHS tapes have Macrovision which makes them unable to be recorded on any media.

No, I couldn't find any option relating to DVD resolution. When dubbing from VHS to DVD, I usually find the quality of the DVD picture to be at least equal to the quality of the VHS picture.

Yes, the VHS tape goes into the left side and the DVD blank in the right. whatever input you use will be recorded on the DVD. It's a decent machine. There is a process called finalizing which allows the copied material on the DVD to play on another DVD player. Before finalizing, you can add several titles to the same DVD, which I've done for a friend who had a bunch of short vacation tapes from years ago. Also, a title can be deleted, again, before finalizing. Once finalized, nothing can be change. It's "sealed."

I have some old VHS tapes from Europe (PAL system) which I want to convert to DVD. Would this software work for such a purpose.

No,sorry it does not work that way ,when you make a dvd from your vhs ,you can make more than one copy .It will ask you if you wish to burn more copies ,you can do as many as you want before closing out .

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!

Yes or DVD to VHS. Very easy to use to do that as long as you have the right DVD. They have to be DVD -R, not +R.

Well you don't "record over" on a dvd recorder (it's not like video tape). You can press the "top menu" button on the remote. Then you delete an existing recording to make more room for new recordings.

Old VHS? This unit is what you need to bypass the copy protect on the VHS tape. It won't be the best quality picture, but it allows you totransfer to a DVD

So am I. I have over a hundred vhs movies that I really don't want to have to go out and buy DVD copies for. What a waste of money. I don't want to copy to sell...I just want to update with what is available now. I do not think it is fair of the video companies to expect us to put out that much money again for what we alrealy own.

This was purchased by me for my mom so she was the primary user. I was under the impression that you could record VHS over to a DVD. From the product description directly:*One-touch/programmable recording and playback of DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW formats and VHS cassette; dubbing from DVD to tape and vice versa. So, you can do both. Tape to DVD and DVD to tape.
