I have a Samsung dvd/vcr combo about 6 yrs old that I love and works fine. Looking to copy vhs tapes to dvd. Do I have to buy a dvd recorder/vcr combo or can I just get a dvd recorder? Leaning toward dvd recorder/vcr combo due to ease, but concerned about price. Regarding getting just the dvd recorder concerned about compatibility with older unit and additional equipment for hook up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi JV,
A DVD recorder is what you need but be aware that pre recorded VHS tapes have copy guard and you will have to bypass it.
I embarked on a project to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD and I had some problems. First I found most of my VHS tapes had copy protection and could not be copied. I went to Best Buy and bought a “Simo T120 GoDVD” which you put in-line between your VHS player and your DVD recorder. It removes the copy-guard and “enhances” the video. It was, I think, $59.95.
Remember to start with your VHS quality is passable but certainly far below a DVD. Now the copy process degrades it further. Don’t get me wrong – my copies are certainly watchable.
The other thing that wore me down was you have to copy in real time. A two hour movie takes two hours to copy. I learned to set it up before I went out and just let the tape and DVD run out. If a movie is over two hours you have to use the four hour mode on the DVD recorder. That reduces the quality slightly.
That is my experience. I still have some tapes I haven’t copied but my stack is greatly reduced.
Back to the Simo – I can’t testify how much the video enhancer feature actually did because I didn’t compare two copies of the same thing. The quality I got was acceptable so I just tolerated it.
Good luck with your project.

VCR/DVD Combo $84.44 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A VCR/DVD combo is a multiplex or converged device, convenient for consumers who wish to use both VHS tapes and DVDs. Hybrid VCR/DVD players were first introduced around the year 1999, and were sometimes criticized as being of poorer quality than standalone units. The first VCR/DVD combo player released was by Go Video, model DVR5000. The product also has a disadvantage in that if one function (DVD or VHS) becomes unusable, the entire unit must be replaced or repaired, though later models of DVD/VCR which suffered from DVD playback lag still functioned with the VCR.

VCR/BluRay Combo $84.44 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A VCR/Bluray combo is a relatively new multiplex or converged device, convenient for consumers who wish to use both VHS tapes and the newer, highdefinition Bluray Disc technology. When Bluray Disc players went on the market in mid2006, the final major Hollywood motion picture on VHS (David Cronenbergs A History of Violence) had already been released. Nonetheless, some homes still had a large supply of VHS tapes due to its nearly30 year builtin consumer supply. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
