Hy, well its been about 15years ago that I did this. Connecting 2 VCRs to play on 1 & record on the other. This was to copy my own made vhs tapes to another Tape. I can not remember how I did this . It was either using 2 rca sockets or via the RF socket where the antenna would normally go. If anyone has any diagrams or can explain in detail how its done ,please let me know.
------------------------- Thank u very much, I tried with the typical 3 wire method 1st,but no luck because it has only one set of inputs on my target recorder. Som as soon as I get a second rf cable I can try the rf method. Also I am interested in the DV recordings method after reading some posts here. I have always wondered about the Dv socket, because its sometimes also revered to as firewire. I want to transfer my vhs tapes to DVD, but my standalone vhs/dvd recorder combo does not allow for transfers . I have a firewire socket on my acer notebook, and I have the same socket on my vhs/dvd recorder(called DV), so if I connect this ,would I see the vhs cassette play on my notebook ? I am not sure if the DV and firewire sockets are for inputs or outputs , do I need to install that speacial software or can any of my other softwares that have "record from capturing device" be able to do that ?
"I have a firewire socket on my acer notebook, and I have the same socket on my vhs/dvd recorder(called DV), so if I connect this ,would I see the vhs cassette play on my notebook ? " No, the firewire port on your VCR/DVD Recorder would be for input. For example if you wanted to hookup your camcorder to your DVD recorder to burn a DVD.
