Dubbing from VHS to DVD.. Need help! Can anyone help?
1617100
I called customer support after many frustrating minutes trying to dub home videos to DVD. And it came down to the fact that the manual is incorrect! First, make sure the input is L1, and secondly, skip Step 7 on page 50 - do NOT press DVD after you pause the VCR - go straight to Dub. I assume you must have figured this out by now, but I want to put this on line so people can see the answer to their problem with dubbing.

VHS will not fully up-convert to HD due to VHS is SD material & hardware. Your picture will improve somewhat, but not to HD quality. I hope this will help.

I am a school bus driving instructor and yes I have transferred all of my training videos to DVD but there are 3 that were encoded and I could not but if I hooked a vhs player to the tv "in" hooked up the dvd recorder to the "out" from tv it made it think that it was a tv show and bypassed the encoding. I would recommend it!

If you don't already own the equipment necessary to create a dvd, I woild suggest you find a company in your local area that can provide the service for you. If you are not into VHS to DVD conversion and own the equipment, it would not be practical to purchase it to do one or two tapes. As the tapes are yours, they will not have any copy protection scheme on them and you will not require the GREX unit for this.

Yes, the VHS tape goes into the left side and the DVD blank in the right. whatever input you use will be recorded on the DVD. It's a decent machine. There is a process called finalizing which allows the copied material on the DVD to play on another DVD player. Before finalizing, you can add several titles to the same DVD, which I've done for a friend who had a bunch of short vacation tapes from years ago. Also, a title can be deleted, again, before finalizing. Once finalized, nothing can be change. It's "sealed."

I noticed you received an answer about recording in the DVD mode before I responded about recording on the VHS mode. For any number of reasons, often my own difficulty with DVDs, I've snafued numerous times on that mode -- thus often staying with the VHS. I believe, from my experience only, you'll more likely get a recording of your game on VHS, but since you likely have time before the game, experiment with both recording modes to be sure that once you've set it and 'forget it' -- you'll have a pretty good chance of recording your game.

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer. But if you still want to know, the answer is "no". This is not a tool to transfer or import clips from one format to another. You will have to first convert your VHS movies into digital format before you can use this software for editing.

I have copied copy protected movies from my DVR. I don't see why it wouldn't copy them from VHS. To be sure, I would recommend you go to the company site. Click on "Contact Us". You can ask them any question you wish and they do answer within a reasonable time. The link is: http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html Hope this helps.

Thanks. Do you know where I can find information about how to save the DVD to the HD?

Milton, my daughter put it on a SD card I think it's called (I'm not the techno expert) and in order to edit it you have to have certain program. She has a Mac computer and it wouldn't load on mine. PS It was a total waste of money as far as I'm concerned. The sound is absolutely horrible, mumbly and behind lips moving, and it takes forever to transfer from each vhs tape cause you have to play it through. Maybe you have faster way to do it.

Simple. It has direct dubbing so you insert the tape you want to copy into the video cassette slot. Then place a blank recordable disc into the tray. Go into the menu and tell the device to dub from VHS to DVD. Set up the quality of recording you want on the disc and all that. Then sit back and let the machine do its job. The only connections you really need for this are to have the power cord plugged in and have the output connected to your TV.

In reference to converting old VHS to DVD; there is an option to finalize later. The length of time it takes to finalize the disk as I recall isn't very long, especially compared to the time it takes to transcribe the source video.

Hi Phil, can you elaborate on the question? DVD disc cannot play on a VCR player as it needs a VHS tape. Are you trying to say if the VHS tape can covert the file to a DVD disc? (that is more of an editing question than a product question). Or are you really saying can a dvd disc play in a regular dvd player?

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.

You can do both, directly to DVD or the computer. If you record your VHS directly to DVD you can not edit the recording. If you do your recording to the computer you can edit the movie (Enhancing the color, bright & contrast, etc). That means that your movie wil looks a lot better.
