Need your input about Sima copythis or goDVD

[huntr]

Do you have any experience on any of those products? I am planning to transfer all my VHS tapes into DVD using Panasonic DVD recorder and some of my tapes are in fairly condition meaning the picture is slightly blur and little grainy from video noise. Will any of this improve picture quality? Most of my tapes are copied from TV shows and some were shot using videocamera. I would like to hear your thought before I make a purchase.

Thanks!

Your Panasonic will give you a "cannot copy protected source" or some such nonsense if you try to copy commercial tapes. Sima and govideo devices will remove macrovision but not the more robust cgms. You will need a tbc like datavideo tbc100 for about $300 or the more cost effective facetvideo video clarifier $89. http://www.facetvideo.com/
