problem with dubbing VHS to DVD on my Samsung DVD-VR375: Is it possible that my adapter is defective or am I doing something wrong?

Did you format the DVD 1st? In the book it tells you how to format the DVD through the player page 77. The only problem I had after dubbing was that I was unable to play it on my computer or my other DVD player.

I was wondering the same thing. we have never transferred them to vhs and no longer have a vcr. any suggestions for the easiest way to transfer would help.

If your VHS tapes are getting old you may have problems like that. Also Head placement with "tracking" sometimes causes loss of audio and/or video. I would say the Video adapter either works or it doesn't work. The rest is either VHS Equipment of conversion software drivers. Those are my thoughts.

Were you able to copy the DVD from the VRDMC5 model? You mentioned using a "duplicator" -- can you specify what that is?

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

I won't be of much help. I inherited the DVD/VCR sans remote because a roommate couldn't pay rent and I wanted to stay seated while I enjoyed his stuff. I just sat on Google until I found what I hoped would work. It was a total fingers-crossed transaction.

I have the same issue and hope someone can let us know if VHS tapes can be edited while making DVD recordings.

After sending my answer, I looked at the others. My experience with this machine was very positive. I have copied over 100 VCR tapes onto DVD's, and have had no problems other than the directions being very confusing. My VCR tapes were very old, and I had to clean the heads every so often too.

Dear friend, thank you for your question. There is a switch "S-VIDEO/CVBS" on the back of this converter. Please turn it to the correct side. For example, when you use S-video output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "S-VIDEO", the left side. When you use AV (CVBS) output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "CVBS", the right side. In addition, there is a "PAL/NTSC" switch. Please swtich it to both sides to have a try. Hope that this will be helpful. Have a nice day! Best regards,KeedoxMaria

I bought two of these as christmas presents for my children and I have the same problem with one of them. I checked NTSC, but that should not have anything to do with the problem. NTSC/PAL is a regional setting when it comes to the video format. I am going to file a complaint and request either a new replacement or a refund for the bad item.

If the same happens with all VCR tapes, either the machine malfunctions or you may be missing something in the directions. Follow those listed on pages 50-51. I've succeeded in all of my 25 tries. Good luck!

I have an old Sanyo VCR hooked up to the DVDO and it works fine. The picture is not great because of the input, analogue, 455 lines and nothing could make it look any better but at least it is converted to the native format of the HDTV. All menu inputs were left in AUTO except the noise compensation which I changed. Does your DVDO work with other inputs?

J Jacob- I've been trying to copy a tape to a dvd and can't get past the 'dubbing' on the menu.Thanks for the heads up

You need some way to kill the write protect either by a "Macrovision Killer" or a digital converter. It will not Dub as I hoped it would. I have not tried to copy a protected VHS through the PC yet.

According to the menu is will convert VHS to DVD but I have not used that part of the program... I use a program called USB TV Box which does as excellent job. Sorry, cannot answer your question. Robert
