can I use this in transferring vhs to dvd?

This DOES have the software for video capture, provided you have the necessary hardware/video card. If you're not sure, ask at a computer store (e.g. Best Buy). If this is too complicated (it was for me), invest in a set-top DVD burner. You can then finalize that DVD, then insert it into your computer's DVD-ROM drive to read the video file (your movie). You can then use VideoStudio to edit your final touches and burn a permanent DVD from there (and make copies for the family as well).

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

Yes, you can. The connection would be made with RCA cables. However, bear in mind that the quality of the output of a VCR is 240 lines of resolution at best (bare minimum on flatscreen televisions is 480). So if you are burning old VHS tapes to DVD to watch on a flatscreen television, you will definitely see the flaws you normally overlooked on older televisions, such as grainy picture, faded colours and so forth. This is a limitation of the VCR, not a reflection of the Hauppauge device. Still, if you have valuable older tapes, it is worth it.

It all depends on which VHS-DVD recoder you have. here is a list fom their website, of those VHS-DVD recorders they know will work! Take a look, and if you find your model recorder, and click on it, there will be a drawing showing you how to hook up http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html#CMP

Yes you can, I have used mine for SD video cards(from my Sony Camcorder) to DVD, VHS to DVD and DVD to DVD. One of the best purchases I've ever made, no waiting for it to download to your computer so you can burn it. Hope this helps! :-)

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.

I was wondering the same thing. we have never transferred them to vhs and no longer have a vcr. any suggestions for the easiest way to transfer would help.

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.

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.

I have not found a way to do that. I have been able to copy some VHS titles but most, including Disney, I have not been able to. Unless there is a feature I haven't found yet, I would look for a different unit.

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

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.

Yes that is what I have on my laptop and used it to convert a bunch of VHS to DVD.

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! 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.

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.

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