Hey guys, anybody knows how I can transfer old VHS to DVD? What
software/hardware do I need?
I'm trying to copy my old VHS to DVD, but some of them have copy protection. I want to now what can I do.
I just bought at Best Buy the Samsung DVD Recorder & VCR. You can copy your VHS tapes right to DVD and or hook up an external source into the deck and copy them to DVD. I find it working well but many of my tapes have tracking issues which is becoming a hurdle for myself.
To transfer VHS to DVD, you need a DVD copier. Leawo DVD Copy is designed to copy DVD. As the most powerful DVD copier, it can also remove the region code from your DVD after copying. You can use it to back up your DVD disc to either your hard drive or a blank disc or directly copy ISO image file to a blank DVD disc.

Old VHS tapes may have a copy protection in the video that will cause the video to go dark then to go bright making the copy no good. There are devices available that will remove this copy protection. The copy protection is called macro vision I believe.
You need a VHS to DVD converter hardware and software. This converts the VHS movie into DVD file format then you can burn this file to a DVD disc. These video converters are available on the Internet.
From the information provided by Philips for this model, it appears you can copy DVD to VHS (if the DVD is not copy protected), but not the other way round. The DVD section is a player only, not a recorder. The unit would need a DVD recorder to be able to transfer from VHS to DVD.
You can find information and manuals to download if you go to the following URL:
If the DVD drive is a recorder, yes. If it is a player only, no. If the tape is copy-protected, recording to a DVD recorder is not possible. Assuming the tapes are not copy-protected, and you are using a DVD recorder with the correct format DVDs (DVD-R for example), you shouldn't have any problems transferring old VHS tapes to DVD.
Buy a 'VICE 1000' hardware unit, which overrides copyright protection, both on DVD and VHS.
Connect between player and hard-drive on DVD recorder.
Google suppliers.
