If I copy home movies from VHS to DVD, will they play in an ordinary DVD player, not just on a computer?

The ones I made with this machine do, not sure for others. I gave out edited home movies on DVD one year for Christmas and no one has had a problem playing them.

i have had success with playing the DVD on various machines by using the FINALIZE disc option. use SETUP, then DISC EDIT, then FINALIZE and choose YES.

there are some restrictions, but yes, when you dubb vhs>dvd, they should play on a dvd player. you need to aquire an owners manual for your machine, and check all noted restrictions. if you don't have a manual, they can be aquired from your manufacturer, or places online.

No, it copies CDs and DVDs, not VHS tapes. The discs play back very well, though.

I think you misspoke...this machine makes copies of DVD's. To the best of my knowledge the DVD's will play back in any regular DVD player.It also will copy CD's.It will not copy any encrypted or copy protected materials.

This unit only copies home made VHS tapes onto a DVD, the one I had before would copy any VHS onto a DVD . What a bummere!!!!

At the same time, if you use your computer you can make a DIVX movie from your DVD then play that in this player. The region encoding affects the playing of the original DVD, but might not interfere when copying it with aftermarket software into DIVX. (or into region free DVD, for that matter)

Absolutely. You can play either vhs tapes or dvd's. You can also copy vhs to dvd and dvd to vhs. Most important, you can copy MOST of your commercial vhs tapes to dvd. Bear in mind, these tapes are breaking down. You want to copy them as soon as you can. I was able to copy all of mine except for Miramax and Disney. There were a few other brands here and there, but most of mine copied.

Yes, sort of. you will need a DVD player to play the DVD. This comes with all the wires you will need. The down side is that it does not have speakers so if the DVD player does not have speakers then there will be no sound . So you may Ned to buy external speakers

Sigurbjorn, I'm not sure. We've never had that question asked. VHS should play similarly, although DVD has copyright limits, and supports Region 1 only. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

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.

YES. It plays "normal" DVDs like other players. As recordings go, it has served me well in converting zillions of very old BUT UNIQUE VHS video tapes into DVDs. Although the ideal player of the future will play AND record Blu Ray AND "normal" DVD format as well as MP4 video files, right now I've little in Blu Ray fomat. Seldom have I had such DEPENDABLE RELIABLE performance from any electonic gadget. It runs and runs and runs and runs without any hassle. CHEERS,Gerhardt J.

Hi Gaius, no, you don't. Regular DVD Players can play converted DVD videos. -Vincent

If the machine can play the VHS tape, it can record it on DVD. If you can buy a DVD of the copy-protected item for a reasonable price, you're probably going to be happier with the result. The system has operated quite satisfactorily for all the transfers I've done.

James does it play whatever format source is on homemade DVD's...like say that comes from mkv or other file sources. Thanks

If your Vhs player only has RCA jacks you will need an adapter or special cable but yes it will work

I know this response is almost a year old but if anyone sees this can you tell me how I go about copying a personal VHS tape to a DVD. Thanks, billh347@gmail.com

Yes, no problem, but remember You'll only be able to play it back on a disc drive that will play DVD's.

Unforuntately - Your RCA DVD Player is not a computer. This title states DVD ROM which is suitable for computers - it will not play in a standard DVD Player.
