It's in there!

The sound from the VHS tapes, both stereo and Dolby Surround encoded (there is no Pro-Logic encoding -- DPL and DPLII are decoding formats, not encoding formats -- or Dolby Digital in analog) will be recorded on the DVD. The only problem is that most DVD recorders have either a 192 or 384kb/s data rate for the audio (not high quality by a loooooong shot!) in all of their recording modes. There are some DVD recorders that have 2-channel 16/48 LPCM at 1.54Mb/s capability (just above CD quality -- that's real CD quality, not the bullshit "CD quality" MP3 you hear about) in their "highest quality" mode. Just be aware that in this mode you will be limited to about 1 hour of recording time.
