transfering Video8 to DVDs using this: I am trying to convert my old Video8 videos to DVDs, would this DVD recorder work to hook up an old video8 camcorder to and transfer the videos to DVD?

I am absolutely positive it will work, F. Melamed. The camcorder probably has RCA composite connections (red and white for audio, yellow for video). If it is mono, one of the audio connections should work for both. If not, go to Radio Shack and get a "Y" connector to connect the mono connection to the stereo connections on the DVD recorder. Once you have them connected, turn both the camcorder and recorder on. Make sure the recorder is tuned to the proper input and then put it into "Record Pause" mode. Then, when you have the tape in the camcorder at the right place, just press "Record" on the DVD recorder. That will give you the cleanest start for your recording. I recommend using the 1 hour DVD mode for the best picture possible.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

I used it successfully with regular 8. It took a lot of trial and error (repositioning projector, mirror and mirror angle and refocusing) to get it right. It takes considerable persistence, but my transfers look a lot better than the ones I had done professionally to VHS tape and DVD; and, unlike those transfers, mine run at the correct speed. Probably not as good as present-day professional frame-by-frame techniques; but (with a good camcorder), you can get achieve something pretty decent at very small fraction of the cost.

It has been a loooong while since I used that DVD/VCR (mine broke down and was thrown out years ago), but if I remember correctly it could NOT record DVDs. I think there was a button that could copy the content of the DVD to a VCR tape, but only if the DVD wasn't copy-protected, which most are.

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. I purchased mine to connect to my external Disk Drives. However I am converting my VHSTapes to DVD'S. Your camcorder is analog Video and has to be converted to Digital video. You may be interested in the attached. It will convert your camcordert so it can be sent to the iMac. It comes with an Installation Disk and it worked like a charm for me. You will have to buy the connecting cables as the leads on the attachment are only about 10" long. It will plug into the USB Port. Good Luck... BobZee...

Camcorders would not work with this DVD burner on their own - you should be able to burn movies to a disc after you have transferred from the camera, to a computer. But you can't do it directly from the camera to the drive. Hope this helps!

I have been able to convert my mini dv tapes with this camrecorder device. It is just for Sony though--only a Sony machine will work. Very simple to use.

I bought this to play some old 8mm tapes I made in the late 80s and early 90s. I can also use it to transfer the tapes to regular VHS or a r/w DVD player, but I have not figured out how to transfer them to my computer yet.

No, this is not a DVD recorder. This unit can only play back DVD. Only the VHS part of this device can record

(Electronics) This device is ideal for any analog video capturing. (VHS, 8mm...) Having gone through the easy setup and installation, I made my first atttempt to capture one of my VHS home movies. Fifteen minutes into the video capture, the recording stopped and displayed this message: "VIDEO IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED.VIDEO CAPTURE WILL NOT RESUME". Don't sweat it. All you have to do is disable the protection pop-up. Here's the fix. And trust me, it works. Haven't had a single issue since this fix. Enjoy. You have to edit a configuration file. Navigate to: C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia ShowBiz\com.ArcSoft.CaptureModule\ Open "CaptureModule.ini" with notepad. Add "ProtectOn=0" under "[CaptureModule]" and save. If it does not let you save, it is because your pc user permissions need to be changed. Right click on the file, select properties select "security" at the top click on "users" and click on the "edit" box Put a click in all the boxes and click on "apply" Now it will let you edit and save the file.

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 never transferred a recording to my computer. I record my tapes from the camera to a DVD. There may be a way to do that, however, I do not know. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Yes you can, I have used mine for SD video cards(from my Sony Camcorder) to DVD, VHS to DVD and DVD to DVD. One of the best purchases I've ever made, no waiting for it to download to your computer so you can burn it. Hope this helps! :-)
