| 421227 | 2006-01-15 07:22:00 | Hi Guys, Having aquired the wondrous DVD recorder,(the joby that replaces the VCR , not the PC type ) I would like to copy my home video collection to DVD. I tried running the phono leads from the vid out to the DVD in ...pushed record...no joy :( Is it possible to dub directly like that or is there a format incompatability issue or something? Any clues much appreciated ! Cheers Pete |

Check which one(s) you are connected to and set the DVD recorder to that station. If it all correct you should be able to recieve tv signals or your video sig on the dvd recorder. Then as you suggest, push play on the Video and record on the DVD recorder. The only problem you may possibly run into is macrovision protection if you are trying to copy a pre recorded VHS tape. This will corrupt the signal in some instances. I have found it in a tv broadcast recently where the dvd recorder refused to record that program. I was slightly pissed because the reeason I wished to record it was that I was unable to watch it at the time. Worked it out though and got to the bottom of at least what went wrong. |
