Can the contents of a 180 minutes capacity VHS video cassette be transferred / recorded to a single DVD disk ?

Question

I bought a DVD player and I want to change all old VHS cassettes to DVD disks. Please advise, thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, it can be done. The most efficient way is to buy a dvd burner (80 bucks at Wal-mart) and transfer the vhs to the dvd. The dvd's themselves cost about 1 dollar apiece but they are well worth it because of a.memory b. durability and c. functionality/efficiency.

Answer 2

yes usually the software set up will ask you to set the time but it is from 2 to 6 hrs depending on quality you choose as a rule there is some variance between brand types but all have adequate spans the times are often marked on the package and oh you will need a burner or recording DVD machine even though they make a VSH to DVD combo best to get separate component units the combo's are cheap.

Answer 3

Yes. The easiest way is to get a dual dvd/vcr player; they're not that expensive. Then you just pop in the tape, the dvd, adjust your settings and let it roll.

Here's a complicated way to do it:

Answer 4

well i hope you have a dvd recorder ( not just a player)...or one that is both for playing tapes and recording dvd's in the same machine..because that's the only way you can transfer your tapes to dvd's...but if you have these then yes you can transfer it will fit...dvd's have a huge amount of room
