DVD to VHS question

[dds]

Hey y'all! I am looking for advice/opinion here. I created a DVD and I have 1 person who wants a copy on VHS. Now, when I try to output the movie through my FireWire to my DV cam, I am either getting buffer overflow or maybe the FireWire is pushing too much data too fast to my camera. When I plug my camera into my TV to view it, it plays for a couple minutes, then it freezes, then picks it back up about 5-10 seconds later. It does this for the duration of the movie. Really weird!

So, I have this DVD/VCR combo and I put the DVD in and a blank tape and record from the DVD. It plays perfect.

In everyones humble opinion, would it be best to continue to produce VHS copies this way, or should I investigate why I can't record the movie back to my DV cam and record through VCR?

Oh, by the way. I have the JVC GR-DVL 720 camera, use Premiere 6.5 to edit, Sonic MyDVD to author, and the Sony DRU-510A burner.

Thanks for opinions/advice.

I would do the DVD combo way. Why put undue wear and tear on your camera?

You stated - - I created a DVD

By that may i extroplate and say - 1. there should be no macrovision 2.for sure no encryption.
Therefore just connect the DVD video/audio OUT to the VCR IN. Press record !

The reason for the DV cam stoppage is it 'may' think it is getting a copyright signal - just a thought.

So why bother with the DV camera at all??

The reason for putting the project back to my camera is so that I have a "Master" copy to store. I guess I will just use DVD's to store my projects on.

Thanks for the opinions guys.

Later.

Like you, I tried using the camera. Lots of extra work for no real benefit.
Now, I just connect the DVD to the VCR and let it rip!

Or, you could invest >$250 in a Canopus ADVC-100. I have one, but only use the DV to Analog functionality when saving small clips that are not worth the effort to author a DVD.
