Has anyone successfully recorded video from DVD to a VHS or Super VHS tape ?
Ok, I know I'm going to loose some scan lines.

I haven't played with converting to VHS, I just got my new DVD burner....

If you have a little money to invest, then grab this, and you can copy to ANY medium..

Yep. Not much different than taping TV or dubbing a video tape. It'll look as good as anything else you've record, certainly no worse. It's not really much of a process. Just plug the AV out from the DVD play into the VCR and record.

Thanks, karma your way.

i don't know how it works exactly, but i think if you get a DVD-ROM you can record onto VHS without macrovision fucking it up if you download software to do it. You just need a DVD-ROM, a video card with a tv-out option & some software.

Strangest thing is happening, I sent karma to responders and it went ok, except for Whole F/N Show.
I repeatedly get
"Bad Request - Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
The request line contained invalid characters following the protocol string."

Show, the system is discrimination against you.

F/N show is right if you are recording from a normal DVD player. From a computer DVD player? I suspect supernav would have the right answer there.

Right.. AV out of the DVD into the VCR
Pop in a tape
start the DVD and REC on VCR
presto in about 2 hours

OR if you do this a lot

Buy a Hi FI VCR / DVD combo machine, and after loading them, press one button to copy.

Just got one of these on sale Friday after Thanksgiving for $89 at Best Buy. Good Name brand even

I got robbed on my Karma!

seriously, I forgot about macrovision. If the post was "how to beat macrovision" I'd have gotten it. You can buy a filter like people said and and there is another way as long as you TV has output jacks. Hook up the DVD to the TV and then hook up the TV's video/audio out to the VCR and record. Macrovision is a kinda scrambling signal that VCR's can't unscramble fast enough but most TVs can. Some projection TV have problems. Anyway the TV will output a clean single for the VCR to record. Of course you won't be able to see what is recorded unless you have another TV hooked up to the VCR so just test it with a real quick record like 30 seconds to make you got it right and it works.
