Can I record with my analog VCR with this? I have an old analog VCR and I was wondering will this converter allow me to record to it?

Yes, you can record on a VCR with it. Just connect the coax cable from the digital converter box to the back of your VCR, then connect a coax cable from the VCR to your TV. It works just like if you had cable hooked up to your VCR.

from what i understand you are suppose to be able to record from your dvr to a vcr recorder.i cant tell you how, but if you do a search on your computer it will bring up how to do it.

ok, question that will reveal how little i know about this. you mentioned recording to DVD. Can a DVD recorder record over the air broadcasts? can you set it to record at certain times, the way you would a VCR? And can you re-record over the dvds or do you have to keep buying them? (the advantage of vhs.)thanks!

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

You have to pre-set the converter into the channel which you want to record. Then assuming your converter's A/V Out is plugged-into your VCR's A/V In, it is a simple matter of setting your VCR Input into A/V (not RF) and setting the Timer for the Time (and not Channel) of the program you want to record. Certain VCRs also have IR controllers for Cable/Sat Receiver Boxes. I am unsure if they will work for Converter Boxes; I have a Samsung Converter and DVD/VCR Player/Recorder and one cannot control the other. If your VCR has an external IR controller, try setting (coding) it up to work with your converter box, though that is doubtful. DTV line-ups have those dashes in their channels (e.g. 10-1), while VCRs only have 3-digit numerals for their channel options.

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.

If your vcr has rca outputs (red white and yellow) you can use this adapter. If it just has an antenna cable output you need something else

You need an analog audio/video interface to a PC/Mac such as these: http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_8?fst=as%3Aoff&rh;=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A1266092011%2Ck%3APC+interface+for+a+vcr&keywords;=PC+interface+for+a+vcr&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1424548087&rnid;=493964

I don't think so. There is a component and S-Video output - So if you can hook this up to your computer you could use it but there is no need. This device eliminates copy protection. So unless the VCR tapes have copy protection you don't need this device. What it sounds like you want is analog video capture ability. Check out USB devices for capturing video signal.

No. Stop looking for a 8mm adapter, there are none. 8mm film is too small to play in your vcr and it would be much to expensive for the consumer if a company developed one. your only alternative is to hook up your 8mm camera to your vcr by rca cable and either watch or record to a blank vhs tape. Simple, cheap and it works.

It depends on how you're using it. If you're using it for a VCR you would need to plug the RCA jacks into your VCR and the USB to your TV. It won't work the other way around though. The USB on this cable is output only... I tried using it to hook up my laptop to the TV. It was a no-go. But for your VCR it should do just fine.

Just plug your existing RCA cables from your VCR into this. This does not plug directly into the back of your VCR, so you have to use your existing RCA's.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

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!

I don't know. It won't work with my old vcr. So, I returned it. It might work if your combo player is new enough. Good Luck.

Yes, you can. The connection would be made with RCA cables. However, bear in mind that the quality of the output of a VCR is 240 lines of resolution at best (bare minimum on flatscreen televisions is 480). So if you are burning old VHS tapes to DVD to watch on a flatscreen television, you will definitely see the flaws you normally overlooked on older televisions, such as grainy picture, faded colours and so forth. This is a limitation of the VCR, not a reflection of the Hauppauge device. Still, if you have valuable older tapes, it is worth it.

You gotta have a tuner. Whether it's a cable box, a DVR, or a Digital-to analog converter like those available for old analog tv's doesn't matter. It just has to have a tuner and A/V outputs that your recorder can accept.
