Hi
You just need a stabilizer for your image! I've got one it's made by "Optex" (aprox = 50$ can$)

Where are you came from? I'm in Quebec and I buy the stabilizer in "Stereo Plus". Any electronic store will probably know what you are looking for. If not, give me your e-mail adress and I will send you a picture of the product... |

The Clarifier™ Macrovision Killer should work.
I've never tried this unit so I can't vouch for it.
Good luck |

a stabilizer is not nessacary!!!
the dvd my brother has lets you copy straight from dvd to vhs without any stabilizer crap. if your dvd player does not let u do this then try to find it's region hack(if u can find it). this should then work. |

Now that you mention it you are right. I did copy a DVD to VHS when I first received my DVD recorder/player. I then tried to copy the VHS back to DVD and it failed.

Hello rmele!
Dale is right, first you should to do is
check compatibility, but nobody can say
exactly. You can try any device and
Dimax have strong support rules. They
will help you with DVD Red Pro.

Has anybody experienced any quality problems with the FacetVideo Clarifier? I'm trying to copy my kids' VHS collection to DVD so we can watch in the car, but signal degradation is introduced thru the Clarifier - the signal is fine as soon as I take the Clarifier out of the signal stream (but of course, then I can't copy the movies to DVD).
I'm using RCA output from the VCR into the Clarifier, and S-Video output from the Clarifier to a Panasonic DMR-E55K.
Good news - it does work. Bad news - the signal degradation makes it workable for 7" screens only - large screen viewing makes you seasick.
Any input would be appreciated. thx. |

I'm not familiar with that exact one but mine has an adjustment inside that can be used for best picture quality. The picture should be better on the DVD than the original, it is for me. Bad cable maybe? |

you need 2 vhs players, vhs1 and vhs2.step 1: connect your vhs1 scart cable in the tv, step 2:connect the dvd player in vhs2(with another scart cable), step 3: connect the antenna cable from vhs2 to tv and cach the vhs2 player signal (put in AV channel in your vhs2 to catch the dvd player signal) and copy in vhs1 directly from tv by antenna signal. good copy!!  |

Most DVDs are copyguarded and can't be copied without a stabilizer. Hook RCA jacks from the DVDs out to the in on the VCR. Then change the VCR from tuner to line. |

Hi!
There is very simple way to record DVD on VHS. Follow this steps:
1. Plug in scart cable into VCR from your DVD player (I hope you have scart cable and scart entrance from DVD.Most of DVD players have)
2. connect your antena to VCR and then (normaly) into TV,
3. Find the chanel of VCR on you TV (if you ever wach TV chanels through VCR it will be very easy for you to set up chanels)
4. List with you remote controler chanels on VCR until (of course your DVD player must be turn on) you find out AVI (or to be precise until you see DVD picture on your TV)
5. When you find picture from DVD on you TV procedure for recording is same as when you record some movies from TV.
6. Just press REC on your VCR and
7. That`s it, enjoy
P.S.Of course don`t forget to put tape inside of VCR

No, you need a stabilizer. |
|
| Posted on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 - 03:03 pm: |

I can't believe you're actually buying hardware to do this.
All you have to do is play the dvd on a tv, set the vcr to channel 0, play the dvd, record, and voilà. |

OK, here's a new one for you. I have an Emerson TV/DVD combo. I want to copy our Care Bears dvds on vhs so my grands can watch them in the van. The vcr and tv have front AV jacks (r,w,y). I can't find an L channel on that vcr, but do have 2 on another vcr. This is driving me crazy!!! Usually I can hook anything up! Help, please? |

Combos don't have outputs, only inputs. You can't output from a combo TV/DVD to a VCR. |

David, thanks for the prompt reply. I will now use all the other info I learned here to use other TV, seperate dvd and vhs. (Drat!!) |

If you were buying a stabilizer for under $100, which brand would you get, Red Pro, VS-8000 Digital Video Stabilizer, GoDVD! Model CT-2, Sima ct-1 CopyThis! Digital Video Enhancer or another brand. I am new at this. Thanks :o) Roxie Gal

I just bought a panasonic DVD recorder/VHS combo. I want to transfer all of my old Disney movies to DVD. The salesman at the store said this could be done. Was he wrong? I keep getting a copyright message when I try. Is there any way to copy my old disney VHS tapes? |

The only to copy with a combo is to use a seperate VCR and a stabilizer. Disney movies are about the most heavily copy protected movies there are. Usually you will still be able to see a little of the copy protection, but it can be done. |

If you are looking to spend $100, I'd buy a burner for the PC to do DVDs, and a cheap stabilizer for the VHS. You can do that for under $100. Any stabilizer should work on VHS, and a burner will make better copies of DVDs faster than a standalone. |

It depends what you want to do with one. They work fine for copying VHS, some may have problems with DVDs. |

Anywhere from $20 to over $100. MCM Electronics has them for $20. I have a sale catalog with them for $18, you would need the source code, e-mail me if you want the code. |

Hi David, Regarding your response to my postings. (Okay, I saw how you answered the copying Disney videos to DVD question and you said get a Stableizer. What kind of stablizer should I get and how expensive are they and where do you get one? Thanks)
Your Response
(Anywhere from $20 to over $100. MCM Electronics has them for $20. I have a sale catalog with them for $18, you would need the source code, e-mail me if you want the code.)
My Question - What is a source code and how would I use it? Is it a code that is inputted in the stablizer for Disney videos? Sorry for the stupid questions. Maybe I should just go on e-bay and purchse DVD od all the videos from overseas @ $4.80 a pop. Thanks, Jennifer Sellers |

Hi, i've just been reading these posts, trying to figure out if i can copy an ordinary dvd from my sony dvd player onto a vhs tape using a 2 yr old daewoo video recorder/player - all pretty standard stuff - without buying or adding anything new. And does my tv have to be routed into the recording pathway? I'm in the US. Thank you! |

Not without a stabilizer, unless it's not copy protected, which is rare. |

Hi David,
I have a DVD/VHS combo unit. How can I copy DVD's to VHS. I have tried and get the Copyright message which prohibits me from recording? Would a stabilizer allow me to do this?

Yes, but you would need a seperate VCR or DVD player. Unless you could use the external VCR output to the DVD input, I've never used a combo and don't know if it's possible or not. |

DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink. Shrink will do 95% or more of them without Decrypter. A few of the new DVDs with Arcos protection will have to be done with Decrypter in file mode first. |

Shrink isn't hard to use, but has a lot of options depending on what you want on the copy, time you want to spend and quality of the copy. |

There is a Web Site where they will copy VHS to DVD, or DVD to VHS for you - it is www.leegraphicdesign.biz
If you want to do it yourself, check out Tiger Direct and buy their Beyond TV unit - works in the US and Europe! |

I want to copy my own DVD movies that I made with my camcorder, edited on my PC, and copied to a rewritable DVD I can play on my regular DVD player attached to my TV. I converted it from PC play only so that anyone can play it on their DVD players. If I buy a cheap VCR, will I be able to play my DVD on my TV, and copy onto a cheap VCR on channel 0?
Do I need to unwrite protect my own DVDs? If so, how do I do this? Anybody know?
Thank you! |

wow, this is really easy... you don't need software to do it, and by the way i won a combo dvd/vcr palyer,a junky $60 one, and even it has an output in aux to those saying they don't ehre, how don't go wasting your money on software. you need a tv, a vcr and a dvd player with output in aux(what you would hook your tv up to the wall that one) first, you hook out aux from dvd player to the in in the vcr player, then out aux in vcr player to the tv. next set chanel 3 or 4 or whatever your vcr and dvd player are set ( set them both to teh same, i sue 3) then turn tv vcr and dvd palyer on, the dvd start screen should be on the tv.
hitt he record function on vcr and let it run for a few serconds then hit play on vcr. the movie should show up on the screen, after about 30 seconds i liek to jsut double check make sure it's working, so stopt eh movie rewind the tape and check to make sure it worked, then jsut start over agin, click record on vcr give a min or two then play on dvd and let it go until the movie is finished proveded it worked the first time. i've copied 100's of movies this way so it works, and you don't need any crapy software. |
