do you place the VHS-C vedio tape inside the adapter to make it like a VHS video tape for a VCR?

Yes. It didn't work the first try, but with a lot of effort, it did eventually play in the vcr.

Sorry James, I sent mine back as it wouldn't eject vcr tape. I bought it used.

It is an adaptor so the mini dv tape can play on the dvc player. It is not a machine for playback just an adapter

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 adaptor fits any mini dv tape but wont fit in a VHS/DVD player. Its designed to fit a DVC player, for playback and not to record.

YES!! I've done it with my Hi-8 video tapes. It was very simple, attaching the output from the video camera to the input on the DVD recorder. First time I tried, I forgot to select the setting for the source, and ended up with a little TV recording, but once I corrected my problem, it went very smoothly.

What was the answer re: need for VHS player while converting to DVD or does tape go into the converter

Probably no, but I haven't tried. I say that because is only has coax input ans it is a digital only tuner. I suspect that your VCR puts out an analog signal. Look for a hybrid card, or one with RCA inputs.

Maggie, the adapter can only be used for vhs-c tapes not for 8mm cassettes, hope this helps, Sock

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

Yes, the S-Video output from VCR machine can be connected to the Video in side of the DVD recorder. Sound cables are connected as normal. The sound quality from older VHS tapes may be noisy. If you have a PC with a DVD drive, and software to edit video, the simpler solution is to record the VHS tape on to the hard drive, use the sound filter, and then burn the DVD.

Gda, just put in the tape and slowly close it and when you are doing this, watch to see the tape move to the out egde of the adapter when closing the door. Then put it into your vhs machine. I have used this product just 2x and it works fine. It is just made (what seems to me) cheaply. So just handle with care, thats all.

Yes. You have to get RCA connectors. (white red yellow ) cables to be able to hook up to the old vcr. Or you could get RGB cables (red green blue cables) if your video player has it.

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.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

Yes, if you feed your composite signal from your vcr to a device ( a dvd recorder or a audio/video receiver for example ) that has a component or hdmi output.
