I've had a Panasonic DMR-ES40V VCR/DVD recorder combo unit since December of '05. It does a nice job of VHS to DVD, or DVD to VHS, but it will not allow you to transfer copyguarded material. For going between separate VCRs and DVD recorders, you could try a VHS copyguard eliminator (not sure how well that would work), or a DVD copyguard eliminator, such as the GoVideo! CT-210, between DVD recorders. But as has been noted, you might be surprised at how much material isn't copyguarded.

Hey RM...I've burned alot of my tapes to DVD and never run into any problems with copy protection...the only problem you'll have is getting a good picture with no artifacts...VHS is the most difficult source to transfer to digital...I finally have a setup that does a nice job...I went with a SVHS player...then used SVideo cable to a Panasonic DVD Recorder that has TBC and Noise Reduction...I'm able to copy a 2 hour tape to DVD with perfect results...I've never tried a combo deck but just be sure to have TBC (Time Base Correction) and DNR on the deck you buy...believe me it makes a big difference...good luck

Copying VHS to DVD

I have a modest collection of WAM tapes from various producers and I figure that I'd better transfer them to DVD before they degrade much more. I've started to look at VHS/DVD recorders and some mention that they will not allow copy protected tapes to be transferred. Do (or should I say.. did) any WAM producers use copy protected tapes?
