No, there is no video record feature. But it plays just about every video file I've ever tried to play on it. I love mine. I use it all the time.

Well yeah, you can record whatever you want actually, just plug the TV signal to the capturer and voilá!

The owner's manual definitely covers connecting the VCR to a cable box. It also appears the VCR is an analog system. I don't use mine for recording TV - I use a DVR.

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.

That would depend on your setup with the dvr. Ours works fine. Our dvr will not record protected tapes, even if recorded off of tv and just transferring for your personal use from Vhs to Dvds. So we generally just wait until it comes on Tv again or check for used movies on amazon or cheap movie bends in the stores.

I have not recorded. I hooked up my unit to a separate port. To record, you would need to hook your incoming cable to the VCR. Then hook the VCR to your T.V. The signal would have to feed through the VCR in order to record. I have been told that this can lessen your signal reception, but do not know if this is true. Good luck.

This would be a poor use of this DVR. Your VHS signal is standard definition and the only thing this DVR is particularly good at is high definition. Any files recorded from your VCR could be backed up to USB flash memory, but writing them onto disk might prove tricky and you'd need an additional computer and additional know how.

if you taped a television show on VHS you can record it to a DVD and if you recorded something on a DVD that is to say something that you recorded you can record it to the VHS

I dont' know if you have received an answer...IF you use a cable box....run cable from box thru VCR then to TV. then you can record and watch at the same time. IF you have a new TV.....it is getting harder and harder to record shows...I can only record from my cable box OR an older analog TV. It is only a matter of time before we wont' be able to record a TV show...big box stores no longer carry DVD recorders....I suspect mixing the signal to prevent recording is in our future. Good luck

We have been able to record video tapes of old movies that we have so far with no issues. Version 5 of this product works too if your pc has Windows 7. Make sure your VCR has the red, white, and yellow video/sound ports on the back.

I don't know if it will work on a digital TV. You can record from TV to the VCR.

No, I don't think you can. You have to have cable and a DVR BOX. I do like this DVD/ VCR-RECORDER. I HAVE 4 OF THEM.

I never tried it but it seems reasonable that it would record from a DVR. Since I got rid of it years ago I can't test it to see if it would, however. Good luck!

As long as it does not insert anything signal that would block recording. Anything that can be input through normal RCA or S-VHS cables can be recorded.

Yes. You can easily record old VHS home movies. The machine won't let you record coded DVD's or coded VHS stuff.

That would depend on what you hook it up to, mine is hookud up to a vcr that records 8 hours at a time.

Yes. Press play on your VCR and press record. Like any recorder it can record the signal being displayed on the TV it is connected to.
