i'm pretty sure you can. i didn't have any trouble doing it. but not copy-protected discs or tapes.

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

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

Yes, I've used it to three Disney vhs tapes to dvd and it worked fine. You should be aware that the stabilizer comes only with a power cord. You will have to purchase or have the cords to run from the vhs player to the stabilizer and from the stabilizer to the dvd recorder. It has two alternatives and I've used RCA jack cords and they have worked well. I've also copied most of my vhs tapes so far for better longevity and for storage room considerations.

there are some restrictions, but yes, when you dubb vhs>dvd, they should play on a dvd player. you need to aquire an owners manual for your machine, and check all noted restrictions. if you don't have a manual, they can be aquired from your manufacturer, or places online.

Only if you want to play them on anything but the camera itself....but you can change tapes on that anytime. I pesonally prefer to transfer important videos to DVD. There are DVD recorders, especially good ones from Magnavox, that you can simply plug in video and audio inputs to very easily make great DVDs. I have literally scores of such discs for both my business and family videos.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I used Elgato Video to convert movies from VHS to .mp4 files then move them to an external HD.

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.

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)

Absolutely! Remember though that the real beauty of these machines is that you can record on vhs and then dub to dvd. For example, I regularly record to vhs and then burn to dvd movies and series I want to keep. DVD-R units will let you capture and hold a movie/show/whatever for as long as you like, but you cannot transfer that recording to a permanent source. On these units, you can record and then burn to the more stable medium, dvd. However, you can record to vhs and then play it. Remember, anything you do on tape is in real-time, so you can watch it as well as burn it to dvd.

If you are trying to copy a retail VHS movie that has macro-vision copy protection to a DVD on a stand alone DVD recorder, then, yes this will allow you to make the copy. The condition of the VHS tape you want to copy needs to be good otherwise you may have problems getting started. The DVD recorder only looks for the copy protection when you first start the recording. If everything is OK then it will continue to record until you stop it. (most of the time) Good Luck

I do not store them and it does not appear to be ideally built for VHS format. You could do it but it would be space inefficient.

Yes , you can record any part of the VHS tape. You run your tape and stop the tape at the begining of the part you want to copy, hit record and then at the end of the part you want copied you hit stop.

It depends on the VHS tape. A copy-protected tape will not record to any disk correctly.

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?

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.

you probably need software to convert vhs to dvd files in order to burn them on to discs

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.
