Can this product be used in conjunction with a Diamond Video Capture VC500 or similar to convert old VHS tapes to digital format?

I'm sorry I can't help you with that. I purchased the recorder with no info about not having a tuner. So you should contact the seller to see what info he's left out.

Yes, any VCR that has a AV output or S-Video output will work with your Diamond Capture Device.

No. It's not good for much and there's so much backround noise it's not worth using.

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.

There are all kinds of converters on NewEgg like this link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156023 It allows you to capture analog signals (like your VCR) onto your computer. Here is a link to an Amazon search for VCR to DVD recorder

No, this will not work with analog video(VHS) out. Only rca audio, digital audio and component video. I am sorry if my previous misled anyone.

Yes that is what I have on my laptop and used it to convert a bunch of VHS to DVD.

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.

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

It all depends on which VHS-DVD recoder you have. here is a list fom their website, of those VHS-DVD recorders they know will work! Take a look, and if you find your model recorder, and click on it, there will be a drawing showing you how to hook up http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html#CMP

I have done several recording from vhs to dvd without any problems so maybe if you could provide me a few more details I could steer you in the right direction. The instruction manual is quite complicated and it is easy to miss a important step so tell me what you did any I'll try and sort out the problem. If you have the instruction manual list the steps found in it so I can be sure you are doing the right things.

If you have a computer you might try this:Diamond One Touch Video Capture Deviceby Diamond MultimediaLink: Diamond VC500 USB 2.0 One Touch VHS to DVD Video Capture Device For Win7, Win8 and Win10 I bought one from Amazon and it works great with camcorders and VCRs. :-)I owned this DVDirect unit years ago and it broke... :-(

this is a VHS machine. So maybe if you had the adaptor cassette from 8mm to VHS it would work

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!

if your vhs player/recorder has component video; meaning rgb hookups in addition to an s-video or yellow rca cable for video hookups than the startech will work. the startech does not have standard s-video or yellow rca jacks. hope this helps

i think, but not so sure, but this digital system has a binary # 0 & 1 only, therefore, whether u record it in a pal or ntsc, it might work in a playback. pls research further... we're now in digital & does not use analog such vhs, betamax. pls consider my answer as inconclusive...

Sorry, I can't answer your specific question. I bought the unit to transfer VHS tapes to DVD. The only function I used was playback. It worked well for that purpose.

This would be a poor use of this DVR. Your VHS signal is standard definition and the only thing this DVR is particularly good at is high definition. Any files recorded from your VCR could be backed up to USB flash memory, but writing them onto disk might prove tricky and you'd need an additional computer and additional know how.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.
