Copy VHS from TV then to DVD

Copy VHS from TV then to DVD



A year or two back I recorded a movie from the TV on to VHS tape.

I have been trying to copy this to a DVD on my Panasonic VHS/DVD Combi
but after recording for a for a few mins it stops and says 'copy protected'.

I am puzzled as to how something copied from TV has copy protection on it
as there was no problem copying from TV in the first place?

Is there a way to get round this? I would be very grateful if anybody can
tell me.

So long as you have video-in hardware,try downloading windows media encoder,
import the file,open encoder,convert audio/video,select the
file,convert.Once thru,
open WMP,select the file,burn to dvd.

Thank you for that Andrew. The only 'video in' I have on my pc is the disk tray and pc refuses to read the dvd. Strangely enough the DVD played on my daughter's computer, no problem. She said it was because there was DivX 7 on her computer and perhaps it wasn't on mine. I have done a google but cannot find anything called DivX7.

Go to Stage6.com. It requires you to download the latest DivX in order to
view the videos on that site. I'd be surprised, though, if DivX is the
culprit. As you allude to, copying to VHS converts the vid to analog, which
would seem to eliminate any of the digital write-protect features. The
"video-in" hardware Andrew mentions I think is the analog to digital
converter, such as those made by Dazzle. That's used to convert analog
signal (from a VHS player) to digital directly into your computer. Then you
use your computer's internal DVD player/burner to make the DVD. Have done
that countless times and have never encountered write-protect.

Good luck!
Max.
