VCR to DVD burner

lunaticfringe

I'm looking for one of the better VCR to DVD burners. Note that while I am burning old VCR tapes on to DVD, my primary focus will simply be burning movies from (hi-def) DVR to DVD.

Any recommended models?

Thanks

They are getting scarce these days. The last one I got was a Magnavox at WalMart. I think Radio Shack has them as well.

I assume you intend to burn HD DVR to a DVD in SD format using a composite output of the DVR. If you want to burn the HD DVR output in HD, that's another story.

At present, there aren't any DVD recorders that record in HD. The only solution is to use a computer with the Hauppauge 1212 (or one of the other Hauppauge products) to import HD from the component outputs of the DVR, which can then be burned to DVD or Blu-Ray using the computer and a DVD or Blu-Ray burner.

Doing it with software through your computer is the cheapest way to do it . The top rated Diamond Video Capture system is only 40 bucks - 33 bucks on amazon ! Of course you must have a functioning VCR .

VHS to DVD?
Only one question, Why?

They were not great on a 26 inch screen...they are horrific on a 46 incher.

While PQ is not up to HD standards, my VHS tapes are quite watchable on a HDTV. I have many special interest VHS releases that were never issued on DVD or BLURAY that are far easier to deal with once transferred to DVD. I also use my DVD recorder to make SD DVDs of HD recordings from my DVR and they look excellent. It is well worth owning a good DVD-R recorder in a modern home theater system for these reasons.
