Yes. Works fine on a PC. Not so good on a Mac. I have converted many VHS tapes with this item.

Yes you can it just won't hold as many because VHS tapes are bigger than DVDs or Blurays.

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.

You would be better off getting a device specifically for this purpose, or you can send your tapes to a service that will convert them for you.All the big chains have devices to convert VHS to digital for anywhere from $30 to $100 ..

but can you reuse the dvd like you could a vhs? or do i have to buy a ton of blanks?

No, I've found the best way to do that is to buy a VHS to DVD recorder. Once you transfer the VHS to DVD, you can rip it to your computer then edit it in this program.

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.

Yes you can but with additional software. I transferred all my 8mm tapes (and VHS tapes) to DVD's using Honestech VHS to DVD 5.0.

there are some restrictions, but yes, when you dubb vhs>dvd, they should play on a dvd player. you need to aquire an owners manual for your machine, and check all noted restrictions. if you don't have a manual, they can be aquired from your manufacturer, or places online.

I purchased a device from Roxio to copy VHS tapes to my laptop and then to burn them onto a DVD, it's a connector and some software. It's pretty seamless, you can copy the tape directly to a DVD or copy it to your computer and then burn the disc. If you have an s-video connector that would be the best way to do it as the Roxio device supports it. I didn't have one but an ordinary cable works fine.

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.

Hi Phil, can you elaborate on the question? DVD disc cannot play on a VCR player as it needs a VHS tape. Are you trying to say if the VHS tape can covert the file to a DVD disc? (that is more of an editing question than a product question). Or are you really saying can a dvd disc play in a regular dvd player?

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer. But if you still want to know, the answer is "no". This is not a tool to transfer or import clips from one format to another. You will have to first convert your VHS movies into digital format before you can use this software for editing.

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.

Handbrake. Seriously, it's the only thing you'll ever need to convert DVD's - and best of all it's free. You'll have to rip the movie from the DVD first (assuming it's copyrighted).

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.
