Can you use the Digital Video Stabilizer to copy from a DVD to VHS?

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.

I don't have any idea, but its doubtful. The Stabilizer was designed to counter the Macrovision copy protection from the 1980s. I used COPY123 to make a backup DVD, then copied that backup to a VHS tape... worked great !

You need some way to kill the write protect either by a "Macrovision Killer" or a digital converter. It will not Dub as I hoped it would. I have not tried to copy a protected VHS through the PC yet.

You can do both, directly to DVD or the computer. If you record your VHS directly to DVD you can not edit the recording. If you do your recording to the computer you can edit the movie (Enhancing the color, bright & contrast, etc). That means that your movie wil looks a lot better.

Yes, it is able to dub from VHS to DVD and from DVD to VHS. Great for preserving personal videos. (If the original is copy-protected, the device will detect this, stop recording, and give you an error message.)

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

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

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

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. Recording to VHS requires a converter box if your signal source is an over-the-air antenna (the DVD side of this unit is play-only).

This apparatus will not allow you to transfer VHS to DVD. However, that is some of the work that I do. I use a Super VHS player (noticeably higher resolution than a standard VHS player) and capture the signal with my computer using Elgato brand video capture, then I put the movie onto DVD. If you're doing this yourself, I recommend the same workflow. I hope this information helps.

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)

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.

No. This is intended to use where a composite input is not available. The composite signal will always be of less quality that an original S-VHS.

No, it copies CDs and DVDs, not VHS tapes. The discs play back very well, though.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

This unit dubbs VHS to DVD. You only need a video cable out to a monitor to view. You can also dub your cam corder to DVD. I burned all my family videos to DVD. Works awesome.
