does this program remove copyright from vhs?

I'm looking for the same answer. I did notice that the very early reviews of this product did mention that a screen popped up that said the material was copyrighted and, therefore, stopped. Unless someone can tell us otherwise, I suspect the answer is no. I have two old VHS movies that have never been released in DVD format and would like to preserve them for my own personal use only. Has ANYONE been able to copy commercial VHS movies to DVD with this program??? Thanks.

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 ..

If you are trying to copy a retail VHS movie that has macro-vision copy protection to a DVD on a stand alone DVD recorder, then, yes this will allow you to make the copy. The condition of the VHS tape you want to copy needs to be good otherwise you may have problems getting started. The DVD recorder only looks for the copy protection when you first start the recording. If everything is OK then it will continue to record until you stop it. (most of the time) Good Luck

You can, but keep in mind that many commercially released VHS tapes were manufactured with "copy guard" protection that prevents copying. You can't copy those. If you are going to copy non-protected tapes such as those you recorded off of TV, you should have no problem.

did this work? do you have to have the digital video stabilizer to record an old VHS movie onto DVD?

you probably need software to convert vhs to dvd files in order to burn them on to discs

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.

This item comes with a basic conversion software, but doesn't really do editing. It will convert VHS into a data file like MPEG. I haven't found a way to edit the video other than just convert it, such as adding text over the video. If you want to see the quality of VHS to digital, check out my YouTube page. http://www.youtube.com/canaanmanley

I have copied copy protected movies from my DVR. I don't see why it wouldn't copy them from VHS. To be sure, I would recommend you go to the company site. Click on "Contact Us". You can ask them any question you wish and they do answer within a reasonable time. The link is: http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html Hope this helps.

no this item is a decoder device that is fitted between a vhs player with a capture card straight to your P.C., this item just decodes the copy right protection from shop bought vhs movie tapes.

You do not have to have a previous version for ver 7 to work.Copyright issues? Don't really understand what you are asking but 1) it will copy copy protected tapes 2) it does not place a copy protect on the disc 3) it does not give a license to copy copyrighted material.

Yes it will. I have transferred older VHS tapes that are not available any more and it copied them all without a problem.

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.

If you bought a VHS tape that is degrading and want to save it via DVD ( whatever R ) you will need a hardware device called a color corrector . Not only will it fix the color, remove artifacts, and repair -- without a PC -- video, it will not be effected by copy-right junk ... I believe it would be legal for one archive copy ... due to loss of the original media ... since you are paying for the video and it is not your fault the media is degrading.YOU NEED A COLOR CORRECTOR , Y E S .

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

Yes. And the picture quality is excellent. What really surprised me was it's durability. I have converted all my old VHS tapes to DVD. The tracking adjuster can eliminate even the worst degraded VHS tape picture lines.

No,sorry it does not work that way ,when you make a dvd from your vhs ,you can make more than one copy .It will ask you if you wish to burn more copies ,you can do as many as you want before closing out .
