Thanks for the tips. I ordered the VRDMC5 then went to ebay and searched for the DVS. Found five for sale-only three were new. I purchased on wiht Buy it Now option for $34.95. Am anxious to try both in combination.

This unit only copies home made VHS tapes onto a DVD, the one I had before would copy any VHS onto a DVD . What a bummere!!!!

You can, but keep in mind that many commercially released VHS tapes were manufactured with "copy guard" protection that prevents copying. You can't copy those. If you are going to copy non-protected tapes such as those you recorded off of TV, you should have no problem.

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.

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd.If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator.ThanksCopystars support team

No. Buy a DVD/VHS combo recorder. It will only play VHS but will record DVD and transfer to DVD, not expensive. What you are looking at converts movie film and I don't know how It works. I sent mine back because it requires you to have a movie projector or a digital movie camera.

Yes it will. I have transferred older VHS tapes that are not available any more and it copied them all without a problem.

Will this play a Mini Digital Video Cassette from my Digital Camera on my VHS and can I convert them to DVD in the same unit?

you would have to use the "Dubbing" function to record to a VHS tape. you would have to start the "dubbing" to transfer a program and then stop recording during the commercial and then start recording the program until the next commercial. if you want a DVD of the program you would reverse the "Dubbing" function to transfer a VHS tape to a DVD. the process is time consuming since you will be starting and stopping the "Dubbing" but i have done it.

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."

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

This product for me has done everything it has advertised it will do. While, I have not yet used it for your purposes, it says it will do that. The people that have used it to transfer VHS to DVD say that it works great.

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.
