Pan E30 for VHS movie transfer?

[jasta]

I was going to purchase a Pan E30 to transfer VHS movies to DVD, but what can I do about the copy protection problem? Do most VHS movies from the past 10 years have this protection? How do you know which tapes have it?
Sorry if this is a dumb series of questions.
Thanks,

I have a SIMA unit I use.

I also suggest you test the tape a few minutes worth out using the DVD-RAM. IF it records ok then record/dupe to DVD-R. By testing to DVD-RAM first, you can erase the test run. You do not need to test record the whole movie, just a few minutes of the main movie, not the intro or previews.

That should save you a couple coasters.

Good luck.

I bought mine from 6th ave, Good people, no problems adn great price.

I also bought a DVD-RAM/-R burnner. with that and my old creative DVD-ROM nad NERO I can make copies of DVDs recorded on my E-30.
