Can you use this product to transfer VHS content to a DVD?

No, this is not a DVD recorder. This unit can only play back DVD. Only the VHS part of this device can record

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.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

No it will not, the DVD portion is just a player, nor can you do DVD to VHS. I used to work for the company.

It's not a DVD recorder- only a player so it won't record new material onto DVD like a VHS. You want a DVD recorder. There are a lot of them listed on Amazon. I don't have one personally so can't recommend one from personal experience. Good luck.

Sorry, I never tried that. I used it for copying VHS that I recorded myself to DVDs. But I was VERY disappointed that it would not record from my DVR, refusing to "make more than the limit of 1 copy". The VHS is broken now, will play but not record. So I only use it to play DVD's.

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

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.

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.

I had some VHS tapes made from old super 8 movies. I copied one of the VHS tapes to a DVD with no trouble.

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 would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

This item will work. However, to do the same job it'll be cheaper to get an old VHS player though. Most of VHS players have coax in and RCA out and they demodulates better than this product.

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 if your vhs player is connected to it while playing tape and dvd recorder os on record

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer. But if you still want to know, the answer is "no". This is not a tool to transfer or import clips from one format to another. You will have to first convert your VHS movies into digital format before you can use this software for editing.

Only if the DVD is not copywriter protected. DVDs that have been burned via computer can be copied onto VHS tapes.
