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).

It's the dvd recording technology -R was developed by Pioneer the other by DVD Forum long time ago it mattered what equipment you had whether it was for -R or +R but now the machines (computers dvd recorders etc) can record & play back any of the two, same quality same speed, myself I've used both nowadays i go for the cheaper one, hopefully I've answered your question.

I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine. For some reason the high def MP4s won't play on mine but the standard size MP4 plays just fine. I have settled on using the VOB format for most of my video and they look fine on my 55" screen. I haven't tried the surround sound with the videos yet. For some videos (kids movies) I rip the DVD to the standard MP4 because the videos digitize fast and the file size is small, about 1 to 2 GB, compared to the VOB file size of 3 to 5 GB. This could be one of the coolest electronic things I have purchased. I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine.

If you base the "upgrade" on the number of disks, then I guess it is an upgraded version, but it sounds like it includes exactly what I received on only 2 DVDs: Sculpt 1-2, Sculpt 3-4, Sweat 1-2, Sweat 3-4, Ab Ripper 100, and Ab Ripper 200. Oh, and I received a "bonus" DVD called Fat Burning Express which I haven't tried yet.Although the marketing is deceiving and the videos obviously dated, I still really like the routines.

DVD-R are more compatible with Players & have a little more memory almost 4.7 GB. DVD+DL & DVD-DL are for recording 8.5 GB on Two Layers with Dual Layers DVD+DL & DVD-DL. I use DVD-R for 4.7 GB & DVD+DL for 8.5 GB

I suggest you contact Amazon right away! Inform them of your problem & they should refund your full purchase. They did for me & told me to just keep the product or throw it out.If you still want to convert your old videos, I'd suggest checking the Honestech VHS to DVD package. I eventually went with it from Amazon. Unfortunately you just missed a Gold Box deal a few days ago, but it's the best & easiest to use that I could find. Even at regular price it;s still a good deal. Good Luck & repost when you succeed. Mike

They are the same quality but different format (DVD-R vs DVD+R). DVD+R are usually faster when being written on. I prefer to use +R in any of my disc purchases, but there is no huge difference. I have a higher burn success rate with +R discs as opposed to -R which for me personally fail more often.

I'm looking for the same answer. I did notice that the very early reviews of this product did mention that a screen popped up that said the material was copyrighted and, therefore, stopped. Unless someone can tell us otherwise, I suspect the answer is no. I have two old VHS movies that have never been released in DVD format and would like to preserve them for my own personal use only. Has ANYONE been able to copy commercial VHS movies to DVD with this program??? Thanks.

Yes, it does both and, so far, has done very well and I've been pleased with the purchase. It is also supposed to be able to record from a VHS to a DVD and comes with the instructions how. But I haven't had the courage to try that yet.

The ones pictured are DVD+RW, the ones in the blue/white packaging are DVD-RW. The +RW have advantages over the -RWs but depends on the DVD drive you have. If you have a DVD-RW drive, you will not get the advantages of +RWs. Too much to explain.

The DVDO does work with "standard" VCR as in VHS or Betamax with not special equipment needed as you claim. Perhaps you have a bad unit. All one has to do is connect the output of the VCR to the input of the DVDO and THAT's IT! The DVDO does everything else. And if you've got a TBC, then you don't sound like someone who needs the DVDO for VHS playback. How can one have a TBC and NOT understand the DVDO?

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.

As I remember it recorded from both ; and upscaled in either vhs or dvd. But again it has been awhile. Hope it works out for you.

Wendy, I asked my hubby as I had bought for him. He said I should tell you when we had a problem putting VHS on DVD as it was suppose to do, he could not find anyone to look at it let alone fix it. That said, he also says no, it doesn't record without and external digit tuner. He really is NOT happy with the entire unit and Toshiba. He still gets upset thinking I wasted my money on it and it was the one he wanted.

Theoretically you may have to buy newer versions though I am still using version 11 and it is still receiving updates so it really boils down to when they decide to stop updating the older versions. In my experience it seems like you will at least get about 4 years out of it, but probably more than that, most newer bluray discs I have seen don't use the newer versions of bluray copy protection anyways. Personally I'm going to upgrade to 14 because after using the trial I found it opens alot faster than 11 and seems to be a smoother experience. Also 11 doesn't work in win 8 media center, I don't blame power dvd though because win 8 wasn't out when I bought it and it worked fine in win 7.

Hi there, DVD-R stands for Recordable. DVD+R stands for Rewritable. +R = you can use again but they cost more. I'm sorry but I have not tried that feature on these.

Hi, did you ever find out the difference? I need to order tapes myself! Thanks
