Re: VHS to DVD

Presently I'm using a Philips DVDR985 recorder along with a Sima Copymaster unit and JVC S-VHS Vcr (model# HR-S3911U). The S-video output from the VCR (this JVC unit can output an S-video signal from regular non-S-video tapes) is run into the Sima unit (it has both s-video and composite ins and outs) from there to either of the 2 S-video ins on the Philips recorder.
I purchased the Philips DVDR-985 as an open box at Best Buy $300. It had just been serviced with their lastest firmware upgrade. This paricular model had firmware problems early on,but Philips seems to have
fixed that now. Unit works like a charm. The Sima Copymaster is a small box that stabilizes pictures for copying and also defeats Macrovision copyright
protection, it also can be had from Best Buy for $50. Basically you'll just need a DVD recorder and a copymaster unit.
