I want to record my VHS collection onto DVDs. What's the best device I could use for this?

Question

I would love to buy a DVD+recorder/VHS that is good quality but at a good price. Any advice is welcome.

Answer 1

Unless you have personal VHS tapes, don't bother. For commercial movies, you will have to beat macrovision copy protection and at the end of the day, the video quality , even at best recording quality is not that great.

There are 2-3 mpeg encoder ICs these days that everyone is using, so whatever you buy will be pretty much the same.
