Dubbing from vcr tape onto panasonic NV-GS200

I'ts likely that the record sensor that pushes on the tab on the tape is bent or broken. Making the VCR think you are trying to record on to a protected tape.

Connect with an appropriate firewire cable.
Many users try USB which will only transfewr Still photos.

I called the manufacturer and realized I was using the wrong type of recordable DVD disc to dub to. Non copy protected VHS tapes dub just fine as long as I'm using the proper disc.

VCR might be equpped wit scrambler to protect copyrighted materials
Please kindly let me know if you need more info
Good Luck

Try this:

If you have another VCR system (Master) you can connect it from the master to the Panasonic DMR ES15 (slave). Insert the copyrighted tape onto the master VCR system and insert a empty VHS tape on the slave system. In the slave, record from the master. When done, you can record from the videotape you have made from the master tape, to the DVD recorder.

If you still have problems, please contact the manufacturer of this model.

Search Ebay for peripherals to transfer tape to PC - they come with all leads and software.

That's normal with different region signals. Only a multiregion recorder/player combo will transfer properly

thisCD recorder wont DUB COPY PROTECTED MATERIALS (COPY RIGHTED) AS IT WILL RECORD HOMEMADE VIDEO FROM A VIDEO CAMERA BUT NOT FROM A STORE BOUGHT TAPE AS THEy ARE COPY PROTECTED.

Not really, these VCR tapes that are copyrighted from the store are highly secured. So you can not dub them actually.

if you are using rca cables let the cam playing something you recorded and try find the channel on vcr(on its tuner).it would be helpfull if you post a picture of your cord
