Much easier to record to VHS than DVD. And want to move to another room to watch VHS? Just pop it out of the machine, move to the other room, pop it into the other VHS machine and start from wherever you left off. Not possible with DVD!

All these 'VHS to DVD' you tube videos are the same. None give best capture sizes, codecs, cleaning, etc. They are either sales pitches, or they only have the absolute basics. For people who only know how to press a button.

Thanks, this is helpful. I have a Samsung combo recorder. The problem I'm having is the audio and video go out of sync about 15 minutes into each conversion from VHS to DVD.  I've tried using an outside source VCR with high quality cables, but it makes no difference. Driving me NUTS!! Any ideas?

Thanks-

Bob

So all this video has showed me is how to plug in an RCA cable.

@tripjet999 Ok but what if you want to skip to the end or beginning in a flash? Not possible with VHS.

Doesn't work on copyrighted stuff...now if one would have a Time base correcter...you can copy anything

[MrBw1982]

There's an easier way...you don't need a PC. Get a VCR connect it to a standalone DVD recorder

[nomphaj20xxx]
