I just bought a Magnavox ZV450MW8A DVD/VCR Recorder. It has recording capabilities on both the DVD and VCR components but can you tell me if I can use it to record FROM the VCR directly onto the DVD? This is really the only reason I bought it so that I could convert old vcr tapes to dvd.
Yes, you can, I have this unit and have actually copied a dvd to a vhs and then copied back to a dvd as I wanted a dvd copy to give a friend. The directions in the book are really quite simple. They tell you how to set the vhs to the spot where you want to start copying, etc.
I have not yet tried copying my family vhs tapes, but don't see a problem, just a big project. Good luck.

Used Magnavox ZV450MW8 two years without problems; past few weeks the time recording sometimes does not record, tape ejects sometimes when trying to rewind or at end of rewind. Tried reprogramming recording settings and even have rebooted to no avail. Is there a fix for this erratic behavior?
