will this product record from an older VCR player?

I've used them to back up older VHS tapes using a combination VHS/DVD-Recorder without any problem. Though many VHS tapes have Macrovision which makes them unable to be recorded on any media.

That would depend on your setup with the dvr. Ours works fine. Our dvr will not record protected tapes, even if recorded off of tv and just transferring for your personal use from Vhs to Dvds. So we generally just wait until it comes on Tv again or check for used movies on amazon or cheap movie bends in the stores.

I have a vcr/dvd combo unit that records both vcr's & dvd's & and yes these blank dvd's are some of the best medium you can purchase. I get a lot fewer coasters with verbatim than Memorex, tdk, & sony.

As far as the quality of the product - yes. They are good quality and should record on any dvd recorder that has the capacity to record. If you are trying to transfer from VHS to DVD that is a technology problem. I recorded family movies from VHS to DVD but needed a special set up and recorder to do this. Trying to copy commercial VHS to DVD is much more difficult.

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

I don't think so. It records just like the sound on the tv program Ihope this helps. It has been so long since I have recorded anything.

No. It only can plays the tape. I don't know why it doesn't record voice even the VOR is on. Junk.

I was curious about this too. With old VCR units in the past, you could set the VCR to a public station like channel 3 and have it record from the TV tuner itself.Perhaps one could use a cable box output via coax to this unit and set the unit tuner to channel 3 or similar. This would however remove any automatic facets unless you set your EyeTV software to record channel 3, and make sure the cable box was set to the correct channel ahead of time.Anyone know if this would hold true?

i think, but not so sure, but this digital system has a binary # 0 & 1 only, therefore, whether u record it in a pal or ntsc, it might work in a playback. pls research further... we're now in digital & does not use analog such vhs, betamax. pls consider my answer as inconclusive...

yes if your vhs player is connected to it while playing tape and dvd recorder os on record

Mine is connected directly to the TV, don't even have cable! So I guess the answer would be "no". Just don't expect the VHS recorder to last longer than a couple months.

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

Hello no it doesn't work at all. I tried to hook all my different devices to a monitor an it didn't work at all. So I'm sure it won't work with ur VCR. Hope this helps.

I believe that you can record on either the VCR or the DVD, but having said this please note that I returned this device because it did not work as expected.

Yes and yes as long as you can play the tape on your player (VCR, camcorder, DVD player, Tivo, and so on). It's not media or cassette type that is important. As this product comes with a digitizer, you can capture almost everything that has video output via RCA (yellow, red, & white) or S-video. Some camcorders only have RCA with yellow (video) and white (sound), which should work as well. I tried capturing PS3 game playing as video on this product, and it worked wonderfully.

The VCR works on a modern TV. I don't have cable, so I'm not sure about its recording capabilities.

Yes. It will connect directly to an old VCR or any TV with an RCA (yellow) input. You WILL need a BNC to RCA adapter though to change the shape of the plug. That will only handle a single camera however. The reason people use DVRs, is because it will record multiple cameras at the same time.

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.
