Commercial VHS to DVD: Does anyone know if there is any kind of copy protection on the tapes, will this software still work?

I have some old VHS tapes from Europe (PAL system) which I want to convert to DVD. Would this software work for such a purpose.

Yes or DVD to VHS. Very easy to use to do that as long as you have the right DVD. They have to be DVD -R, not +R.

My VCR is also still working, but I fear any day it will "konk out" and I'll be lost. I also use a portable DVD player which is OK, but it would be nice to have an "all in one" which would be relatively easy to install and would still enable me to record shows directly from the TV without a hassle. I only have the very basic cable system (no separate box or satellite).

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

Not generally. If they are commercial DVDs, they have copyright protection software that will block any copying.

that's a little confusing but I think what you're saying is dvd output to DVD recorder I believe it will work but copyright stuff probably won't copy

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

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.

Yes, the VHS tape goes into the left side and the DVD blank in the right. whatever input you use will be recorded on the DVD. It's a decent machine. There is a process called finalizing which allows the copied material on the DVD to play on another DVD player. Before finalizing, you can add several titles to the same DVD, which I've done for a friend who had a bunch of short vacation tapes from years ago. Also, a title can be deleted, again, before finalizing. Once finalized, nothing can be change. It's "sealed."

I have been converting VHS tapes with copy protection to DVD. I installed the XDIMAXunit in the video output from the VHS player between the player and the DVD recorder (You need two cables for this). The left and right audio cables went directly to the DVD recorder.

If there's no protection on the VHS tapes do we still need DVS to transfer to DVD?Also what are te previous models? If cheaper I might go for a previous model.

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.

I have done several recording from vhs to dvd without any problems so maybe if you could provide me a few more details I could steer you in the right direction. The instruction manual is quite complicated and it is easy to miss a important step so tell me what you did any I'll try and sort out the problem. If you have the instruction manual list the steps found in it so I can be sure you are doing the right things.

This will enable your computer to correctly "read" the video by disabling the copy protection, however you will still need a program & input device such as this Elgato device available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_electronics?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin;=Elgato&node;=172282)This combination will allow you to copy all VHS tapes, including protected ones.

Can you send me the link for that filter box? I really want to convert my copyrighted VHS tapes to DVDs but haven't found a way to do so. Can you explain to me how you did it? (trimthehedges@gmail.com)

I really have no answer. The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps you punched out the tab so that the tape could not be overwritten by accident. Would it be possible that the program could read this as a copyrightprotection, so it would not process it? In case that is the problem, just put some tape over the "hole" and see if that works. Have you sent a question to the EZ folks? I found them to be helpful, but I was still not able to transfer my 8mm tapes to DVDs.

I am not sure either Mr. Turner. I bought this Device to.go.from VHS to.DVD and it has worked very well for me. The whole point of this device was to help get past the macrovision protection. Going in the direction you want, that obstacle doesn't exist.
