How to copy dvd to vcr??

[mr ed]

Hello... I read forum discussions on copying movie dvd to vcr and I now realize that there are several things that I can buy to do this....but I only wish to copy once in a while when I take a dvd out of my library....since they only give one day to watch it.
I read at this site that possibly old vcr's that do not have the blocking chip or coding installed may be able to record movie dvd's. Is this true and how old a machine is necessary to use? Thanks for your help...

no.....

your dvd player's macrovision prevents analog copying of your DVD. more info here: more info here; http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#1.1

you might be able to disable the macrovision on your dvd player. look here: https://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks

If you cannot disable the Macrovision copy protection on the DVD player, do a general search or a search on Yahoo! Shopping for "DVD Video Stabilizer." There you'll find a few devices for about $30 that will allow you to record a DVD to VHS.

I wouldn't recommend Dazzle, but the DVC 150 that is collecting dust on the shelf could do what you want using their inclosed software. I did about three DVDs to VCR tape with no problems. Found I could record 4 DVDs using ELP.

if you have a DVD player and a VCR hooked uo to the same TV all u have to do is play the DVD in the DVD player while simuntaneously recordin to a VHS in your VCR. i dont know if you are asking the question that i think you are so i am sorry if i confused u all.

macrovision is designed to prevent ppl from doing this..it disrupts the analog signal.

why dont you just fork out $150 and get a DVD burner? The quality is much better, and the disks are a lot cheaper than tapes.... And it's faster. You can copy and burn a movie in less than an hour. You can get an RW disk (about $1.50) and reuse it over 1000 times....

the only way to do that is like Rawman said,you need to buy a image stabilizer,I have one made by SIMA($35)

Do you have a TV out from your VIDEO GRAPHICS CARD in your computer?
suggestion 1.
Tape the output of your COMPUTER's graphics card, and run a companion audio out cable from your SOUND CARD to the VCR's inputs

Suggestion 2
Rip and copy the dvd on your computer instead
because on a TAPE, after the movie you have to go back to the menu, push buttons and do it all over again..you need a six hour tape to get all the extras and this must make the dub labor intensive!
