I just purchased a Panasonic DVD primarily to record my 400+ VHS collection to DVD. Any thoughts, hints, opinions, suggestions???
Follow Ups:
You will find that some of your tapes will be able to be recorded to dvd. However, evidently panasonic has some circuitry that recongnises the macrovision encoding scheme and will not allow you to copy them. I Iam in the same boat and even have a sima color converter that removes the visual effects of macrovision but not the digital encoding that the panasonic recorder sees and it wont allow the recording of same.
I think it's a good idea. I plan to do it sometime. I feel the tape will lose quality with time.When I do it, I would also like to have the capability to edit the video. I have many hours of recordings that I don't need to save.
I got this in some incoming email spam so don't consider this an endorsement -- I certainly haven't tried it. According to their site, you may be able to transfer your VHS to CD-R's, perhaps 2 disks per 2 hour tape. Certainly cheaper than DVD media (for now). Might be an interim step?http://www.net-related.com/dvd/index.html
There are probably other companies selling this kind of software.
That program is for converting DVD's, of which I have none, to CD. I intend to copy VHS tapes to DVD. BTW, I had a phone conversation with a gentleman at one of the company's who manufacture a similar product. The quality is about 40% of the original DVD - not what I would want!!!
my oppinion/question is:why? it's not going to look any better and think of how many more dvd's you could buy with the money you'd spend on dvd-r's for your vhs tapes. for that much money you could repurchase about 1/4th of your vhs collection only on dvd and it would look better and give you all the special features and everything.
Mainly because of space constraints. My VHS tapes are everywhere! Also, I have many movies, TV specials, programs, etc. that are unavailable in today's market. I have over 100 prerecorded movies on VHS that I intend to copy to DVD and then sell the tapes on ebay. Figure I can easily recover the cost of the Recorder that way. At any rate, DVD-R's are relatively inexpensive - less than $1.00 each in quantity (100+). I just bought 50 for $59.00 to get me started.
