how do i vhs to dvd

hello people i have a dvd recorder it also does dvd to vhs and thats why we bought it to transfer our home movies to dvd but when i put the tape in and the blank dvd in and push dub vhs to dvd it says error please help

thankyou

 

What kind of recorder do you have? Are you using the right kind of DVD recording disc?

 

its a emerson it says dvd-R/rw and thats what i'm using
any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?
thankyou for your help

 

Have you finalized the disc after you finish recording? Look in your manual for finalizing the disc. On my JVC the disc won't play unless finalized. Hope This Helps (HTH).

 

all the post above are correct..

you also need to remember that all dvd recorders have built-in
protection in them, for that reason of copying, don't know
what to say about your home movies but could be a factor
and the hok up is also different on such models.

if your dvd is one of those combo units VHS/DVD Recorder
they also have that built in protection in them.

there are ways around that as well, but if you only have a
few to transfer from vhs to dvd it's not worth the trouble.

i have a Sansui combo unit VHS/DVD Recorder and have found
a way around the protection, if you know what i mean, but
it's a lot of trouble and not worth it to me.

just my 2 cents............
gday...............

 

i do a whole bunch of tapes could you please help me get around the protection?

thankyou
