Convert VHS to DVD - Comments Page 4

I am also transferring my VHS to DVD with a JVC combo unit. I ran into an issue with quite a few of my tapes having a jittery picture, but when played in a seperate VCR were fine. I thought it was the JVC unit so I purchased a Samsung combo with the same result. I also tried using the seperate VCR with A/V cables and still the same. Any suggestions?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You say the TAPES had a jittery picture, but you're transferring to DVDs. Are you saying there's a problem with the source tapes, or the output DVDs?

There is an ultimate solution. It's not right for everybody, but produces very clean results and can be used for other things after all your old VHS tapes have been converted. The Standalone Series 1 TiVo units have analog inputs that can be attached to you VHS deck. They can be upgraded with a network card to download the movie files to your computer or just attach the hard drive to your computer and transfer the recordings directly. Once it's on the computer it's fairly easy to burn a DVD. I wrote this guide - http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=272106&postcount=54 It takes some geekballz, but produces great results on a tight budget.

I have a CD from a church concert......Can I pop it into my Laptop and edit or add titles to the songs.?

EDITOR'S NOTE: No, but you can rip the songs to your hard drive with iTunes (or similar) then burn a new CD with the corrected song titles.

I have a Panasonic PV-GS15 Camcorder. For the life of me I can not get it to pass my VHS video to my computer. Has anyone used this camera as an AD converter to convert VHS tapes to DVD? Thanks for any help.

How can you dub Disney VHS to DVD???

EDITOR'S NOTE: You'll need a device called a Stabilizer between your VHS player and your DVD recorder. It effectively removes the copy protection signal. Look for the Sima CT-200 or similar devices.

Hello Bob, I have Hauppauge WinTV HVR card, I connect my VCR to the card and manage to view, record and copy to DVD using Windows Media Center but the image quality is poor and image shakes alot. What am I missing?

EDITOR'S NOTE: It could be a lack of RAM or CPU horsepower. If you have a hotrod computer, then maybe an image stabilizer (see previous comment) will help.

After copying ovre 100VHS tapes to DVD using a set up via scart between VHS and DVD recorder with no problems. However I have now encountered the same problem as many ie the copyright protection of Disney Videos. I have tried the Sima 200 without any luck I have almost a further 100 tapes to copy. Has anyone any ideas? the copies are only for my granddaughters personal use.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It could be that they use different encoding for the DRM outside the US. I do know that others have been able to copy DIsney VHS to DVD by using a Stabilizer. Maybe you'll find other options in videohelp.com

Is there any way to transfer old home movies on VHS to DVD and do some editing along the way? Thanks!

EDITOR'S NOTE: As mentioned in the article, you can use movie editing programs such as Windows MovieMaker, QuickTime or iMovie to manipulate the video.

I have a Sony combo DVD/VHS player that just records but i dont want to replace with another combo just to transfer my Tapes to DVD'S. Can i just buy a DVD Burner and attach to my current player or do i need to buy something new.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You said your combo DVD/VHS player can record, so I'm confused why that won't work for you.

I have a LG RC6921W DVD/VHS recorder that copies both ways. Copying VHSC tapes to DVD I miss calculated and got "disk full". As what was being copied was just the end of the VHSC tape with nothing on it. I selected FINALIZE on the DVD. This didn't work and now I can't even play a DVD in the drive. It seems to cycle 3-4 times and then ejects the DVD.
Can anyone help with this error please???
