It does, however, detect copyrights on dvd's and does not allow me to copy them. My dvd recorder is a not a dual dvd/vcr; i have a separate dual dvd/vcr connected. My dvd recorder is a panasonic, 2 yrs old this christmas. It's been awesome!! I am able with my dvd recorder to transfer vhs tapes (copyrighted or not) to dvd.

Keep in mind that when transferring VHS tapes to DVD, the quality will remain that of a VHS tape, meaning that it would be redundant to get DVD's that are essentially VHS quality. The whole appeal behind upgrading to a DVD was for sharper picture and sound. Not only that, but the ability to skip through certain parts of a film via "chapter selections" was also the appeal of a DVD. You can create new menus and chop the films up into chapters on your own when working with a VHS transfer, but the process is more time-consuming and less efficient. Not only that, but DVD's are soon going to be extinct once Blu-ray takes over! So it's pointless to think about converting everything to DVD when in about 7-8 years, you'll have 500 DVD's that you may think about converting to Blu-ray. So I honestly think that you simply buy another VCR for about $30.
