Burn those tapes: VHS-to-DVD decks |
|
||
 David Katzmaier Senior editor |
Updated October 21, 2005 Whether your bookshelves are straining under the weight of old home movies or entire seasons of USC gridiron matchups, these combo VHS-to-DVD decks will convert those bulky old VHS tapes into DVDs that you can watch and store just about anywhere. Just insert a blank DVD and the original tape (sorry, no store-bought Hollywood movies), press the Copy button, and walk away. More resources

| Review summary | The GoVideo VR3930 is perfect for archiving your noncopyrighted VHS and DV home movies to DVD, but it's no better for recording TV than your current VCR. | With easy-as-pie operation, Lite-On's LVC-9006 VHS/DVD combo recorder is a great choice for beginners and just about everyone else that's looking to turn their VHS tapes into DVDs. | If you have a pile of old VHS tapes you want archived to DVD, GoVideo's new VHS-to-DVD deck makes it easier than ever. | Sony's RDR-VX515 VHS-DVD recorder combo scores big with its support for double-layer DVD+R discs but drops the ball with its so-so VHS-to-DVD dubbing quality. | While its inability to place chapter stops on DVDs is a bummer, this capable dubber shines in most other areas. | Despite a few nice features, the Philips DVDR600VR's difficult interface and below-average video quality keep it from competing well. |
