This DVD/VCR combi recorder has got to be the easiest machine ever to use to convert those precious videos to DVD. Very simplistic instructions, easy to set up and one touch button recording. I have converted all my videos to DVD using the slow play option from the drop down menu, just over 6 hours of recording on each DVD+RW disc. It allows recording to DVD+-RW, DVD+-R, DVD+R DL and VHS. It has the facility to edit each recording that you make i.e. name the film title or name of occasion recorded (birthday etc) . It also comes with video plus and has all the support for recording from digital video camcorders. It is compatible with CD, CD-R/-RW, MP3-CD, MP3-DVD, WMA. The only drawback is the audio playback from older videos can often be poor and it weighs 5.2 kg. Altogether an excellent machine for those who have little knowledge about digital machines and all for just under £175.00 delivery free.
(4 out of 5)Easy when you know how!
Wanted a machine to copy home produced videos and not a deal of choice in the market. Had problem with the Quick Instructions to dub. You need to follow the instructions in the booklet, and yes, it works well and there seems to be no loss whatsoever of detail or sound in the copying. Even copied a video, which had itself been copied from 40 year old 8mm cine film, by my home video camera....Very pleased so far.....
(5 out of 5)Brilliant
This does just what it says - and easily. I have had soooo many problems in the past simply trying to copy tape to disc - either old VHS, or modern 8mm, and digital tape - so am absolutely chuffed that this is simple one button copying ! No DVD format problems either - because it will use any - "+" , "-" ,and dual layer......highly recommended ! (don't expect a slim line machine though - it is a big old VHS style) Also great for front connections to camcorder - incl; firewire, phono, and usb !
(5 out of 5)VHS to DVD
I would reiterate what others have said. This is the machine to go for if you want to transfer your VHS videos to DVDs to save storage space - its a DVDR. Don't consider copying from your old VHS playing machine via a computer USB port onto a DVD drive. It may seem cheaper but it's a nightmare to get to work and you have all the fuss getting all the connections right. This machine makes it a doddle in one unit even though it would be the more expensive method. The process is called dubbing in this machine's instruction book. The quality of the DVD produced will be as good as the VHS quality. With this machine, you can record from telly to DVD or VHS, VHS to DVD, DVD to VHS (if you really want to). Highly recommended. Bulkier than my old VHS player but say who cares?
