can you convert VHS to DVD on this machine

No, it's not DVD recorder. It's a combo of DVD player and VCR (VHS recorder and player).

Yes, this device allows copying from a VHS tape to your computer and then to a DVD.It's a 3 or 4 step process, but it does work!

Prof. Whitebread: Yes, you can hook up a VCR and record VHS tapes to DVD with this recorder. I transferred all my VHS movies (all that were not copy-protected) to DVD using this recorder. You can apparently do some editing too, although I have not tried this. You can read all about it on the downloadable owner's manual in PDF, available at this URL: http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-images/models/dr570/docs/dr570_om_e.pdf

Yes it is very easy to do, just make sure; When dubbing Vsh to Dvd, choose when recording dubbing Vsh to Dvd'If dubbing Dvd to Vhs , set Dvd to Vhs.

Hello..Not sure about VHS to DVD..I have failed at that as well..But these are great for backing up DVDs to use not to danger the original copy

no, only to VHS, and that's not even reliable. Mine would quit recording before the programmed stop time, and this was when it was still pretty much brand new. (within 2-3 months)

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.

Yes! This is why I bought it. I can convert my VHS tapes to DVD discs. It works perfectly. The only thing you can't do is watch tv on another channel when you are recording a program.

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

If you are asking if you can burn the VHS contents to the dvd drive, no. The DVD drive on this unit is just a player. Check out Panasonic VHS/DVD recorders. I have one that records VHS to DVD -- it works beautifully, but is very old and no longer available. You may be able to find one from a third-party seller.

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.

No, it can only be done with an external tuner, after many internet searches by me and two stores that sell this I find no such tuners. I returned mine to the seller for a refund. What you have is a VHS/DVD player only, not a Recorder.

I have done several recording from vhs to dvd without any problems so maybe if you could provide me a few more details I could steer you in the right direction. The instruction manual is quite complicated and it is easy to miss a important step so tell me what you did any I'll try and sort out the problem. If you have the instruction manual list the steps found in it so I can be sure you are doing the right things.

Yes. You can easily record old VHS home movies. The machine won't let you record coded DVD's or coded VHS stuff.

No, I've found the best way to do that is to buy a VHS to DVD recorder. Once you transfer the VHS to DVD, you can rip it to your computer then edit it in this program.

Yes you can but with additional software. I transferred all my 8mm tapes (and VHS tapes) to DVD's using Honestech VHS to DVD 5.0.
