I'm not sure this is the right thread but I searched and came up nada so here goes: I've got tons of VHS that need to be on DVD for size, deterioration and backup issues. Some of them are home movies, some football games, some are purchased movies. I tried connecting my PC to the VHS but while a couple of them worked, the bought movies were no-go. I've been told that this is due to something called Macrovision. I'm not sure what it is (something to do with "pulsing the VBI"??) I fished around and came up with this to correct this "pulse" or whatever: http://www.reviewcentre.com/review194800.html Has anyone direct experience with this or similar devices? Would it be easier to just get a VHS/DVR combo thing or am I facing the same issues? I also understand that there are services where you can send your tapes and blank DVD's and they'll do it for you. Worth the while? Thanks for helping out.

LastInLine posted:First off, why would you want to record a VHS tape onto a DVD when you could just get the bought movie on DVD? Since the picture quality difference is pretty large, I'd think that if the movie were important to you, you'd just buy it and get important things like an anamorphic presentation and 5.1 sound. Secondly, yeah that thing will correct for Macrovision, and no, a combo unit won't help you. I'm also sure those services will not copy prerecorded tapes onto a DVD for you. What a great idea! You may paypal my account. I'll need about $3000.00 to rebuy all those movies at $10 per pop. Oh, they'll cost more than that? $5000 then. Thanks so much. I don't particularly care if the quality is not DVD. If I cared about that I wouldn't have loving posted. These are older movies (lots of kid stuff). But--you did try to answer the original question about the VICE 1000, so thanks for that at least. And the service WILL copy movies--they just cost too much for as many as I have to do (at least the ones I've looked into).
