found this description from a website about PLUS, then they added something about the DELUXE at the bottom: VHS to DVD? 4.0 Plus is an all-in-one solution for video conversion, providing the novice user with an easy wizard mode, while giving the advanced user creative options to edit unwanted scenes and add transition effects. VHS to DVD 4.0 is the market leader in video conversion, having sold 200,000 units since 2005. VHS to DVD 4.0 Plus provides everything you need to easily transfer your video into VCD, SVCD, and DVD movies with just a few clicks. VHS to DVD? Plus 4.0 includes a USB 2.0 video capture device and software to convert analog video to digital, or reformat digital video for recording on DVDs. PC users can either use the capture device interface or connect their digital video cameras and players to their PC to store the video. The VHS to DVD Deluxe 4.0 software formats the video for DVD players and recording devices. It also supports converting HDTV quality video formats including: HDV, VHS, C-VHS, Beta and other video and audio formats to DVD and Blu-ray DVD.

Yes, it is able to dub from VHS to DVD and from DVD to VHS. Great for preserving personal videos. (If the original is copy-protected, the device will detect this, stop recording, and give you an error message.)

It does offer variable speed slow and fast playback, from 1/16 to 32x, but no audio at other than normal speed. I used to have a VHS machine with the feature you describe and I used it for watching things like the news, but I can't imagine wanting to watch movies like that? But good luck with your search just the same.

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

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.

It is hard to answer this question directly since you are asking if you need something that does not and cannot exist. 'RCA' refers to a type of connector while 'USB' refers to a type of hardware-software interface. What you need is a device that converts audio and video to the USB standard required by VHS to DVD. I use a Honestech VIDBOX and I have always assumed that this was proprietary on the USB-software side although I realize now that I am not sure about this. Anyway, I would not attempt to use this software with anything other than a VIDBOX or some similar device that claims compatibility with the VHS to DVD software.

I just purchased a Toshiba D-VR610 DVD/VCR recorder (tunerless), for the purpose of copying my VHS tapes to DVD. Other than a poorly-written manual, I like the unit. I'm using rewriteable DVDs, so that I can learn how to use the unit without wasting DVDs. If you read through all of the reviews on the various websites (Amazon, Bestbuy, etc), you will find that this unit gets high marks by customers, whereas most other brands have various issues.

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, 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.

I assume you want to record from the VHS side to the DVD side of your combo, then no you cannot use it. If, however, you are using a different machine to play a video and are using the combo only to record on, then yes, you can use it.

I have that 6 hour "cat sitter video" vhs tape from 1999 and I have not found one to match it as it is one that keeps my brood calm all day while I was at work. So how does this dvd play over and over if you are not there to restart? My vhs is starting to drag and Radio Shack wants a $100 plus to put it on DVD and it would be on 4 DVDs not like one VHS tape.

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.

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.

4.0 Plus does not support Blu-ray authoring/burning, but 5.0 Deluxe support Blu-ray burning. With 5.0 Deluxe, you can also make copies of the DVD movies that you made previously with VHS to DVD program (not copyrighted DVDs).

This machine has some issues and limitations! While it works and plays both VHS and DVD, it is designed to record only in the VHS mode and not the DVD mode, and the digital display is only for tracking the play of VHS tapes. The machine often makes noises in the play function of both the VHS and DVD modes which I find annoying, as I have to turn up the volume a bit on the movie to drown out the noise of the player. The Sony machine I had for over 10 years before it developed an issue with the DVD player was way better quality wise.
