Why not? What are your doubts about it?

I don't have one of the "all-in-one" recorders, but I do have a separate DVD and VCR. It is a pain to do it either way. I have also used

for pc. It does a pretty good job...especially if you want to edit.

That'll work fine. Why would you think it wouldn't?

I have a VHS to DVD player/recorder. It works...though I never used it as much as I thought I would. All I can say is some players are better than others. Some are basically taking crappy DVD and Crappy VHS and putting them in one box. I suggest in researching the product before you get it.

I tried it but I didn't know how to exactly configure the wires because as soon as I pushed "copy", it went to the dvd screen and wouldn't record. I think I have to link both ports together

You should not have to link anything that's the beauty of the device. Is there copy protection on your VHS? Is it a bought VHS tape of a movie? If so you may have to rig it so it can copy by putting a piece of stiff tape over the square indentation. Let me back up a bit...On "blank" VHS tapes that you used to buy at the store have a tab on the side that when pushed in or broken off means you can't tape over it. When you bought a movie on VHS, this tab would NOT be there as they would not want you to accidentally tape over a movie you just bought. Subsequently, this tab pushed in means that it's "protected" and many machines recognize this and won't allow you to copy the tape to another.

I also have a VHS tape that has HEAVY encryption beyond the tape indentation. So it could be that.

It's a tape that has recorded material. It's a blank tape, well not anymore lol

I put the tape in, then put the DVD in, pressed play on the tape, and then pressed copy, and the driver said the player doesn't recognize the disc mad

My father just finished transferring all his boxing archives from VHS to DVD. He had some 100+ tapes to transfer, that shit took FOREVER.

Are you sure this device records from VHS to DVD? It looks like mine which is just a "combo" player which plays DVDs and VHS tapes. And I can only copy from DVD to VHS. Just asking...

And what model is it? Normally there is ONE button one can push to do auto copy. You may want to check the manual...there may be limitations on the type of DVD it will take.

Some are recorders, some are just two separate players...you can tell in the price difference. players are about 120, recorders are about 200.

We bought one, forget the brand, but it was CRAPPY for VHS recording onto DVD...we just used it for recording off the TV onto DVD and recording our 8mm videos onto DVD. (nice feature)
