Need to use it with a Sony PAL camcorder to record on a DVD recorder NTSC without loosing frames or any distortion. Does this do the job?

I would only use this one if your using low quality as its only av, if you are using 720 or higher 1080 then u need to spend a bit more like I did and get the better Orei hdmi to hdmi converter, it works really well.

I had no luck with this item it did not transfer vidio signal. I decided to go a little more expensive tried mono price 7111 works great.

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

Yes! I use this very simple, but great feature all the time when I transfer footage to DVD. The Pause feature "stops on a dime", so it's an immediate reaction to the remote. You can be very precise with it. The recording will pick up immediately when you press pause a second time.

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

Yes, it will work on other systems. This camera has RCA jacks. They sell adapters from RCA to BNC if your recorder is BNC.

I believe that the statement above is incorrect .This device should record HDTV broadcast since it contains an ATSC tuner.However it will not play the broadcast back as HD since the media to which it writes (regular DVD & VHS tape) do not support playback in HD. Ergo you lose some definition in playback.

It's not a DVD recorder- only a player so it won't record new material onto DVD like a VHS. You want a DVD recorder. There are a lot of them listed on Amazon. I don't have one personally so can't recommend one from personal experience. Good luck.

Hi Sandy. I bought this as a refurbished machine to attempt to convert my dad's old video camera recordings to DVD. I plugged the camcorder cable into the front input of the DVD recorder, and it worked perfectly. I made a set of DVDs for my mom and brother for Christmas that year. The only inputs on this DVD recorder are the S-video or the component (red, yellow, green), so as long as your VCR will plug into either of those, it should work as well as mine did. Good luck!

Yes, the best results will be if you have a compatible Sony camcorder as you will be able to do many copy features via automation. Inputs available - DV (firewire), S-Video, composite video and stereo audio. NO HDMI input. If the camcorder is non-Sony you can still select your inputs from the menu but the camcorder will not automatically drive the DVD Recorder VRDMC5. See ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9BHCUnmTQ

Yes, it will record standard NTSC Composit Video or S Video from your Cable Box. This unit doesn't have a built in tuner or any other automated timer. It can record 8 hrs of Video and Audio, but only manually. Good luck. manually.

hi Lawrence,I used mine for a vcr.I wondered if it would work or not and came to the conclusion,if it doesn't, I have a paper weight.

I used it successfully with regular 8. It took a lot of trial and error (repositioning projector, mirror and mirror angle and refocusing) to get it right. It takes considerable persistence, but my transfers look a lot better than the ones I had done professionally to VHS tape and DVD; and, unlike those transfers, mine run at the correct speed. Probably not as good as present-day professional frame-by-frame techniques; but (with a good camcorder), you can get achieve something pretty decent at very small fraction of the cost.

I am using it for PAL to NTSC conversion and it works fine. A PAL source into an US TV set. The connection is HDMI in and HDMI out from the box.

I used my C&E; HDMI/S-video converter to provide the input connection for two DVD recorders and old VCR through an amplifier and it works very good. I would expect it to provide a very good S-video signal to your television.

Thanks for the info. I bought the camcorder because the person for whom I bought it sent me a DVD produced on their equipment, and I was able to view it on both my computer and television. Does NTSC/PAL apply also to digital? I don't quite get all this.....

Capture??? I don't understand the term in relation to dubbing video tapes which is what this unit is designed to do. It removes the "MacroVision" copy guard integrated into prerecorded tapes. For this, it works fine.It has no ability to make tapes look better, remove tape defects, brighten, detail, sharpen, etc. But, it should not distort the analog video signal it will pass through from input to output.

I have used it to record episodes of t.v. shows and a few football games to DVD. I was able to watch them later with no issues. Note: I use broadcast television. I do not have cable or satellite.
