Does anyone know of a good/reliable software/hardware package to convert VHS to DVD. I've tried VHS2DVD from Clearclick and cannot get it to work.

If you're trying to copy VHS movies with copyright protection, you will have to get a filter to remove the protection. Can you view your VHS movies on your computer? Microsoft will take you to your goal - no extra cost - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/toss-out-those-vhs-tapes-save-your-home-videos-to-dvd

I have a Magnavox recorder for several years, It records VHS and DVD'S, plays both kind, records both and record from VHS to DVD'S. In fact I have put all my VHS'S on to DVD'S. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. It still works great!

did this work? do you have to have the digital video stabilizer to record an old VHS movie onto DVD?

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.

Hey guys...I've been using several software to convert DVD movies into mp4 format (compatable to iPod). The best I've found so far is ImTOO DVD Mavie Converter and it's not free but you can look for it by using LimeWire or other like that. This software can even catch the audio from DVD files (excellent if you wanna have mp3s from a DVD Live Concert).I wouldn't recommend RedChair 'cause it messed all the art of my albums' covers... I hated that software.Hope this info is useful for you.

I believe so - I was converting VHS "C" format & 8MM. Very cumbersome process and I had to find a player that played those devices. Somebody has to come our with a better system. But after ,many hours (dyas) I did get 2-3 movies to come out fairly clean and audible.

No I don't believe that you can do that with this. I think you can record VHS but it does not burn discs. Just a blueray/dvd player. If you want to burn VHS to disc I suggest you check with Walmart. I was in their store; they had a VHS to DVD recorder/player for under $200. I have not found many machines besided this Panasonic that play all 3 formats VHS/DVD/Blueray disc. I have also had compatability issues with some dvd's (real dvd's not bootlegs}.

no, only to VHS, and that's not even reliable. Mine would quit recording before the programmed stop time, and this was when it was still pretty much brand new. (within 2-3 months)

Milton, my daughter put it on a SD card I think it's called (I'm not the techno expert) and in order to edit it you have to have certain program. She has a Mac computer and it wouldn't load on mine. PS It was a total waste of money as far as I'm concerned. The sound is absolutely horrible, mumbly and behind lips moving, and it takes forever to transfer from each vhs tape cause you have to play it through. Maybe you have faster way to do it.

If the machine can play the VHS tape, it can record it on DVD. If you can buy a DVD of the copy-protected item for a reasonable price, you're probably going to be happier with the result. The system has operated quite satisfactorily for all the transfers I've done.

Hi : I recived no answers to this post from November, however, I did a quick survey of the "Compatible with list". I want to stick with Win XP, so there are not many choices, and the ones I surveyed all looked, well, less easy than my trusty VCR.However, I am ready to look again and share info.Regards

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

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

My unit has a problem with the dvd drawer opening when you are in vhs mode. Does anyone have any suggestions on this problem?Admiral Joe

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.

This product for me has done everything it has advertised it will do. While, I have not yet used it for your purposes, it says it will do that. The people that have used it to transfer VHS to DVD say that it works great.

I just bought this machine and am not sure how to record on VHS. The manual goes from hooking it up to programming the show. I need the inbetween. What happened to channel 3? So far I had to go in the menu on the TV and change it (source?) to VCR, then turn on VCR, plug in the show, then I had to go back in the menu and change the mode from VCR to TV. What a hassle. Is this right? Yesterday I talked to Toshiba and NOW they said taping OTA on VHS might not work. Can someone help me that actually has performed this task? I have Samsung HDTV, rooftop antenna, and no cable.

No, I couldn't find any option relating to DVD resolution. When dubbing from VHS to DVD, I usually find the quality of the DVD picture to be at least equal to the quality of the VHS picture.
