Convert VHS to DVD - Comments Page 11

Your article states "If you don't need to modify the video at all...this method is the easiest and the most direct." What if you do need to edit the video, what's the easiest for that purpose? Thank you!

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you need to edit the video, then you'll have to save it on your computer, and use a movie editing program such as Windows MovieMaker, or iMovie.

I'm having problems! I have a Sylvania VHS/DVD combo. I have some VHS tapes (Disney & some others) that I want to dub to DVD from VHS. Is there ANY way I can do this or am I just S.O.L.? I am getting a message that it can't be done when I try to do it - copy protected. What can I do?? Thanks so much!!!

BTW, I have read through most of the comments and it just makes my head spin trying to make sense of what they mean! ha ha.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry if this sounds mean, but you will have to try and wrap your head around a few new concepts if you want to solve your problem. Some have reported success doing this. I've mentioned the Sima CT-200 stabilizer a few times. Try Videohelp.com for more assistance if that device doesn't work for you.

I need a system which can burn a dvd from dvd/cd/mini-dv tapes. Plz let me know wot is the best thing and around how much will it cost.

Thanks.

Very useful site. I have tried one conversion programme which failed as sound/vision did not match. That was VHS to laptop. Extremely complicated procedure via internet. Wanted to hurl laptop through window!
I have : Panasonic NV-HD630 video recorder which only has red and white points.

Can I use this if I buy a separate DVD recorder?

Have too many old tapes to pay a company.

I have used these guys :Film to DVD several times and I've been very happy with the customer service. They produce some really good work.

I converted 350 VHS tapes to DVD using a Facet Vidio Clarifier. It goes between the vidio link from the VHS player and the DVD recorder and removes the incription while stabilizing the image. If the tape is really bad it will not fix everything. I tried to find the website with no luck. The cons were: real time recording, no way to fast track. Heads need to be kept clean on both recorder and player every 8-10 hours.

Addition the site moved but here it is http://facetvideoclarifier.com/ this is simple to use and worked well for me.

I would like to try the Dazzle video converter but my vcr only has a yellow and white input/output. Will it work?
