Can you record two VHS tapes onto one DVD if there is enough space? If so, how do you do it?

I have not done it with this machine yet. I have done it before with an older machine. I have not checked the quality of doing two tapes on one dvd yet. I will give it a try and let you know though.

It depends on the length of video on each tape really. I have put video from several tapes onto one DVD for my mom. After you finish recording the first tape, take it out, put second one in, and start the DVD record again per the instructions in the manual. FYI, the manual is very well written and covers all this in great detail.

It depends on the lengths of the DVDs in question, and the time recording setting you put on the DVD you are recording onto. That is, you can choose the DVD to be able to record for 1 hour, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours. Simply record the first VHS, based again on its length and the DVD time setting you have chosen, and record the next one, etc. I have recorded several VHS tapes on one DVD many times.

you have 12 hours on your DVD. Run the first tape. Put it in pause, insert the second tape and continue recording.

Yes you can as long as you are recording less than 4.7gig. Go to settings and do not close your session. I am not looking at my manual at this time but the manual is very easy to understand. It clearly states that you must finalize so you can watch on other DVDs. I hope this helps you. As I stated I do not have the manual in front of me. But the answer is yes.

You can record with either the vcr or the dvd mode and you can record your vcr tapes onto dvd discs.. For months, I was using it for only vcr recording, and then decided to catch up with the times and bought some dvd-rw dics. I love the dvd recording now that I'm using it. The only down side, that I see is that you have to re-format the dvd discs before recording again and it takes a while to initialize when you insert the disc in the machine.

Yes , you can record any part of the VHS tape. You run your tape and stop the tape at the begining of the part you want to copy, hit record and then at the end of the part you want copied you hit stop.

I store CDs in mine, so I can't address the capacity issue. The row spacing is user-defined, so I am sure that the shelves can be configured/spaced such that VHS tapes would store easily. You'd end up with taller/fewer rows. I'm quite pleased with my unit, btw.

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!

Yes, you can. A tip - make sure if you are combining two recorded shows to the same DVD they must be recorded at the same speed, i.e. only SLP recorded shows can be combined on the same DVD later. Otherwise shows that are recorded at different speeds will each need their own DVD.

I have not found a way to do that. I have been able to copy some VHS titles but most, including Disney, I have not been able to. Unless there is a feature I haven't found yet, I would look for a different unit.

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery.I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD.That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.

No clue. I still use VHS tapes daily and just started recording movies on DVDs 2 years ago.

Hi M. Schindley! First of all, Merry Christmas!! The answer to your question is yes, you can be selective with recording from a VCR or a camcorder, recording only the scenes that you want. All you need to to do is press the pause button on the remote when you reach your desired scene, cue your VCR or camcorder to your next desired scene, then hit the play buttons of your VCR/camcorder and Toshiba DVD recorder SIMULTANEOUSLY and off you go. I have done this when I deem that a particular scene is not really worth recording so I jump in and fast forward to the scenes that I want. I have actually squeezed in two T-120 tapes in one dvd using the SP recording mode and the results were fantastic. Hope this helps!

I do not store them and it does not appear to be ideally built for VHS format. You could do it but it would be space inefficient.

The unit has timer recording functions for both the DVD and VHS tape portions. You can program the unit to record up to 12 different programs within a month in advance. Daily or weekly program recordings are also available.

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

Depends on recording "speed". Many DVD recorders can record 1, 2, 4, or even 8 hours of standard definition video on one side. Quality goes down of course. Standard setting is 2 hours.

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

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, you can record to VHS or DVD. This is not a DVR so there is no internal hard drive to record to. There is only composite and s-video inputs on the machine which have a maximum video resolution of 480i; make sure your video output source corresponds for the best picture.
