Which is a better VHS to DVD setup?

[Squashky]

I know i posted a similar post don't report because the topic moved away from the original topic and no long fits the topic

For 300 i can get a

JVC SR-MV30U
with one button dubbing although it is a combo unit


or i could get a


jVC HRS-9911 for 250 and a recorder for about 300



the second option couldn't be 300 better could it?



This will mostly will be used to COnvert VHS to DVD-RW to be imported authored and burned from a computer.


Thanks for the reply.

I have looked around but i couldn't find quality results compared... has anyone had experience with either setup

Then I see no reason to get a DVD recorder. You will not get optimal quality. Get an ADVC 110 from Canopus. http://www.canopus.com/products/ADVC110/index.php. Somewhere around $200.

i need to convert many tapes so i feel recorders are quicker for my purposes thanks thouhg


I was thinking JVC HRS 9911------>monster cables-----> JVC-DV-m100s burn to DVD -rw and then use a comp from there


is that worth it for vhs conversions or is a combo better ?


all for about 450

DV compression is not better than a good DVD recorder, especially not one based off LSI technology (like JVC).

Honestly, I'd try the JVC SR-MV30U

Of course, that means it'll only be good for straight transfers of unprotected tapes that need no advanced restoration (such as proc amp work, detailer work, etc).

wow really wat makes you say that????? every thing i have read says that you say never a combo??? what makes the change?

Is there a quality difference?

[lordsmurf]

Build quality on the professional equipment is often better.

This is an exception to the "avoid combo" rule that is often not mentioned, mostly because combo pro equipment is rather obscure.

I considered one of these myself (actually, I think it was another model, but close enough), researched them a bit, but the need for it never happened.

Quality aside I still wouldn't consider a combo unit. My thoughts have always been what if one breaks... not a great anology but let's say you buy a TV/VCR combo and the TV goes... you now have the largest VCR on the planet. :P

the combo setup says this on its web site


Post-Processor also applies several noise-reduction technologies including Block Noise Reduction Circuit to reduce MPEG block noise, Color DigiPure for 3D noise reduction with enhanced color and details, and Hadamard Noise Reduction to eliminate mosquito noise in virtually any DVD.


is that apply ed to the final DVD or is that only used when the DVD is played though the DVD player. So does that help the final quality or is it only temporary?
