Yo Homies!

What are your experiences with a DVD Recorder?

I bought one today cos I wanna transfer some old VHS tapes over.

Anything I should know or be aware of?


thanks.

Use good quality media, many threads in here on that topic
if you're planning to back up commercially produced VHS, most are copy protected & you'll need a gizmo to break the macrovision

Homely here!

Agree 100%, buy some good media. Cleanliness is a must. Media is cheap so put only one or two movies on a disk. I can record at XP, SP, LP and EP. I can see the difference in quality between EP and other speeds. Try it and see for yourself. Use the audio/video cables for best recording. Also if possible use the S video cable. Read the instructions!!!!!!!!!!!!.......i know its a bore but i was amazed at some of the things this newer equipment can do.

Once i have recorded anything special i use my DVD burner to make a copy and keep the other as a master.

Best of luck and enjoy.
