I have dvd's that were made from old home vhs movies. I want to preserve them by putting them on a hard drive. Will this work?

I can't say for certain, but pretty sure it will work. I had great success converting DVD and Blu Ray movies

It does work well. It will let you read the hard disk and allow you to either backup or you can transfer the files to another computer.. It's a great thing to have even if you have the oldest hard disk ever. If I were you, you may want to check the connections in your computer. Try that..

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.

I know this response is almost a year old but if anyone sees this can you tell me how I go about copying a personal VHS tape to a DVD. Thanks, billh347@gmail.com

this won't work on the computer. you need to attach it from your vhs to a dvd recorder. I hope this helps ;)

As long as you have a DVD-ROM drive in your PC, then yes, although depending on how much data you have , you might need few of them and software to do the backups

Check this out: Magnavox MDR557H/F7 1Terabyte Hard Disc Drive Digital Video Disc Recorder I connected an old vhs player and copied my tapes onto the drive. I could edit them, etc. and then transfer them to DVDs. It is great to have for every day use. You would love it!! You can record tv etc.

In reference to converting old VHS to DVD; there is an option to finalize later. The length of time it takes to finalize the disk as I recall isn't very long, especially compared to the time it takes to transcribe the source video.

Hi Sandy. I bought this as a refurbished machine to attempt to convert my dad's old video camera recordings to DVD. I plugged the camcorder cable into the front input of the DVD recorder, and it worked perfectly. I made a set of DVDs for my mom and brother for Christmas that year. The only inputs on this DVD recorder are the S-video or the component (red, yellow, green), so as long as your VCR will plug into either of those, it should work as well as mine did. Good luck!

I think so, if the hard drive old has similar connection it'll working good.Good luck.

According to the menu is will convert VHS to DVD but I have not used that part of the program... I use a program called USB TV Box which does as excellent job. Sorry, cannot answer your question. Robert

Yes. But it's not going to have the crystal clear picture of a hd DVD but a much better picture quality than of a regular VHS player. The toshiba player has great picture quality for both VHS and DVDs. Thank you for your question.

yes if they are not copy right protected like a rental from rd box it will not copy, but if you have it on your hard drive it should copy it.

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

You would be better off getting a device specifically for this purpose, or you can send your tapes to a service that will convert them for you.All the big chains have devices to convert VHS to digital for anywhere from $30 to $100 ..

hello! yes it will. I had played some movies. I really dont know if which type of disk the movies were recorded in , but I'm almost sure that you aren't going to have problems with that.
