vhs to dvd

[njtony]

Ok paid good money for my VHS movies, now Is there a way to transfer them to DVD ?

A couple of issues. If the VHS are movies, then they were likely encrypted with Macrovision. Simply connecting a VHS player to DVD recorder will just result in unstable picture sync issues.

Another issue as mentioned is that VHS typically had between 220-240 lines of resolution. Recording to DVD would upscale to 480 lines, which would result in soft picture with no details.

Sam's Club can do it for you...

Transferring VHS movies to DVD is certainly possible but the quality would be totally unacceptable. I would just keep watching those on a VHS player. And anything new you should consider a streaming service like Netflix, or buy Blue Ray disks.

When I did it I had to play them on a VHS player whose output went to the input of a DVD recorder. Took forever.

google is your friend but...there are professional firms that will do this for a price (we know from personal experience), not terribly pricy. option B, find someone like us who has a VHS/DVD recorder/player in which a dubbed copy can be made either way.
