Your burner should have various speeds, just select one that's as close to the running time of the movie as you can. Requires a special cable you can get at Radio Shack, for one.Īs to movie length, I don't really see that as a problem. It's a little black 5 pin jack on the back and it's marked.

I doubt your old Goldstar has S-Video, but Goody's again right, it's significantly better. When you compare it to what's available today, you start to see the flaws. And also, because many cable companies didn't put out the highest quality signals either, so video tape used to look good.

Also your TV station was sending you shows from sources than weren't that much higher quality than a commerical video tape.

The reason it used to look so good was not really the number of lines, but the fact that the losses in over the air/antenna tv were so high that it made the tape look good. If you can't record - or don't even see - the non-commercial stuff, then you've done something wrong. If you can see and record anything but the output from a commercial tape, then it's copy protection. If you can record that stuff, but not anything from a commercial tape, you have your answer.Īs to your laptop, it's the same thing. or, best yet, a home made tape that you recorded off the tv. If you want to make sure if you're hooked up properly, waste a little space on the disk and try to record anything else that comes out of the VCR, like it's (usually) blue "no signal" screen and/or some of the menu items that show up on your on screen display - like the time, "play", "rec", etc. I've haven't tried mrg's suggestion, but what he's saying is that the seperate RF modulator box - when used between the vcr and the dvd burner (or any two similar devices) - won't pass the anti-copyright signals that are used to screw up the recording (at least some, I don't know if it's effective on all types). I've worked for 3 tv stations myself, and you're almost certainly getting defeated by copy protection. I'm recording as much as I can of the stuff I recorded earlier fresh off the dish dvr if I have a choice between that or the older vhs copy as it's better quality.įeel free to ask more, I'm a disabled pro.

most capture cards/dongles capture mpeg-2 and you have to compress from that to divx/xvid. I use a video capture box with a built-in hardware divx encoder, but those are rare now. the broadcast 'standard' was 640x480- theoretically 320 lines. expect fairly poor quality, as vhs in standard play mode resolves 200 lines horizontally at best- the old tv's couldn't display that, the most of them.

Once you get it to record a playing tape, then you need to look at the problem of getting a full movie on a dvd-r, see if there is a high-compression 'long play' mode to record in, or divx/mpeg4. If you have prerecorded tapes with macrovision anticopy, you may need a vertical synch box to record them- the problem will show up as funny colors and the picture 'tearing' diagonally. (don't expect more than a minor difference, though) if it's not a stereo vcr you may have to use a y-cable to feed both channels on the dvd recorder from the single audio out on the vcr. If at all possible use the audio/video output on the vcr to the corresponding recording inputs on the dvd-r, and s-video if they have it.
