can I connect this to my VCR to transfer video from VHS tapes?

Yes it has video inputs and works well for transferring tapes, provided they're not copy protected. The only drawback to the unit is the flaky tuner which drops channels. For other recording it's fine.

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

This would be a poor use of this DVR. Your VHS signal is standard definition and the only thing this DVR is particularly good at is high definition. Any files recorded from your VCR could be backed up to USB flash memory, but writing them onto disk might prove tricky and you'd need an additional computer and additional know how.

You should be able to. I only had this for a short time. See the review below. I bought this used DVD/VCR on line through Amazon. When I received it and tried it out, I found that when I played a VCR tape back the picture bounced around and sometimes the horizontal went out of sync. I returned the DVD/VCR for a prompt full refund. I only had this device for a short time. See a copy of my review below.

Sure, not a problem. Just run cables from the video, left and right audio outputs on the back of your VCR to their respective inputs on the DVD Recorder.

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

The manual only shows instructions for recording to the vcr. I would say no.

There is an adaptor available here on Amazon that works great. Here is the name of it: Etekcity HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD. I have one and all you need is your HDMI cable and some RCA cable and you are ready to go.

If the computer has an RCA input (yellow/red/white), then you could. Another way to do it would be to get a D-VHS player ( JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder ), connecting via HDMI to the computer, copying that way.

Sorry, I never tried that. I used it for copying VHS that I recorded myself to DVDs. But I was VERY disappointed that it would not record from my DVR, refusing to "make more than the limit of 1 copy". The VHS is broken now, will play but not record. So I only use it to play DVD's.

No. Stop looking for a 8mm adapter, there are none. 8mm film is too small to play in your vcr and it would be much to expensive for the consumer if a company developed one. your only alternative is to hook up your 8mm camera to your vcr by rca cable and either watch or record to a blank vhs tape. Simple, cheap and it works.

I'm afraid not. I bought the VCR to do VHS digitization on my computer, but found that the S-VHS output is only for the DVD player. The out from the VCR is standard composite video.

No this is not a tape converter. This is so you can play a small vhs reel in a regular size vhs vcr. Hope this helps.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

Yes or DVD to VHS. Very easy to use to do that as long as you have the right DVD. They have to be DVD -R, not +R.

yes if your vhs player is connected to it while playing tape and dvd recorder os on record

Of course, (as long as your vcr has a tuner in it) just plug it in where the "antenna in" input is on the vcr, then take a cable from "antenna out" and run it into the "antenna in" input on the TV. This is how I always do it- you usually get an extra boost from the vcr (or dvd-r) amp this way too! By the way- this is a great buy!
