Yes. I record to the hd and them move to other devices but u believe there's an option to go direct to DVD. Regardless each movie is an individual file which you can delete. Also recommend maybe you burn two DVDs before you delete if you go through the time to record it.

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd.If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator.ThanksCopystars support team

Can you send me the link for that filter box? I really want to convert my copyrighted VHS tapes to DVDs but haven't found a way to do so. Can you explain to me how you did it? (trimthehedges@gmail.com)

I suggest you contact Amazon right away! Inform them of your problem & they should refund your full purchase. They did for me & told me to just keep the product or throw it out.If you still want to convert your old videos, I'd suggest checking the Honestech VHS to DVD package. I eventually went with it from Amazon. Unfortunately you just missed a Gold Box deal a few days ago, but it's the best & easiest to use that I could find. Even at regular price it;s still a good deal. Good Luck & repost when you succeed. Mike

This model is over 10 years old if not older. This model was produced long before that type of technology was available. In short, no, VHS to DVD transfer is not a feature of this product.

You are so welcome. I have copied almost 75 vhs tapes and haven't had a single problem. The downside is that when I start the movie, I end up stopping what I am doing so I can watch it while it records. Have fun!

Never tried to save on my computer. I've always burned to dvds or video tape. You can get a dvd and vcr mechine . I like vcr tape the best easy to view and erase.

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's exactly what I did. I used Elgato Video to convert movies from VHS to .mp4 files then move them to an external HD.

Remember this unit records to HDD and DVD. So you can record it to the HDD, but sometime you might have to copy it to a DVD if wanted to save space on the HDD. You can use the HDD as a VHS. The only way to transport the HDD content is to copy on a DVD otherwise you will have to disconnect your unit every time you wanted to see the HDD at a friend's place which is very impractical to do. Also when you record on the HDD, try to edit the title's name so you would remember what it is.

I am currently using the Colossus card to convert standard VHS tapes to dvd and it works great! You will have to transcode the output of the card to MPEG2/AC3 format to put it on DVD as the card only records to MPEG4-AVC format. Also, use S-video or component video input if possible.

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

So am I. I have over a hundred vhs movies that I really don't want to have to go out and buy DVD copies for. What a waste of money. I don't want to copy to sell...I just want to update with what is available now. I do not think it is fair of the video companies to expect us to put out that much money again for what we alrealy own.
