Normally you should be able to connect the VHS to the DVD and then press record on one while playing the other. If the DVD is copy protected, it might not be that easy. Some DVD's have the macrovision copy protection which will cause the video to dim in and out and change colors as it records thus giving you a strange looking copy. The VHS copy that you make is still somewhat acceptable to watch if you do not mind the occasional shift in color.

It depends on if the DVD if copyrighted. If you're trying to put a movie to VHS then more than likely it won't work. Usually the screen will be distorted. However, if you are trying to put a VHS to DVD then all you need is a DVD-R or DVD burner. You can buy one for around $200 or so. Won't be top line but it will work.

Are you sure your not trying to copy a old VHS to a DVD?

Copy-guarding will prevent you from doing this. I couldn't even view DVD's thru my VCR when I tried to use the VCR to hook to a TV that didn't have the necessary inputs.
