According to the menu is will convert VHS to DVD but I have not used that part of the program... I use a program called USB TV Box which does as excellent job. Sorry, cannot answer your question. Robert

Sorry I can't help you. I have only used it to convert VHS tapes and edit them in order to burn to DVD's.

As far as the quality of the product - yes. They are good quality and should record on any dvd recorder that has the capacity to record. If you are trying to transfer from VHS to DVD that is a technology problem. I recorded family movies from VHS to DVD but needed a special set up and recorder to do this. Trying to copy commercial VHS to DVD is much more difficult.

Absolutely. You can play either vhs tapes or dvd's. You can also copy vhs to dvd and dvd to vhs. Most important, you can copy MOST of your commercial vhs tapes to dvd. Bear in mind, these tapes are breaking down. You want to copy them as soon as you can. I was able to copy all of mine except for Miramax and Disney. There were a few other brands here and there, but most of mine copied.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

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.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

Hello.I do not know.I use these dvds for recording directly from television. These dvds are also excellent for direct dvd to dvd transfers and transferring data from old vhs tapes to dvd.

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.

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.

This item comes with a basic conversion software, but doesn't really do editing. It will convert VHS into a data file like MPEG. I haven't found a way to edit the video other than just convert it, such as adding text over the video. If you want to see the quality of VHS to digital, check out my YouTube page. http://www.youtube.com/canaanmanley

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.

did this work? do you have to have the digital video stabilizer to record an old VHS movie onto DVD?

I plugged it into an old VCR with rca plugs and it copied a regular resolution dvd onto tape, so I would assume the answer is yes, but remember that you might experience resolution issues if you are going from HD to low def.
