Hi
I need your advice. I want to transfer my vhs tapes to dvds. I want the dvds to play on a regular dvd player, not a Blu-ray.
I don't want something I can only use on a computer or have to do another step to get it to a watchable dvd.
I guess what I am trying to say is....from the vhs tape to the dvd and watch!!!
What machine/make/model do you suggest for this? Should I stay away from any particular product?
I hope this makes sense. I'll check back to see if you have any questions.
It does not have to be a QVC product.
Thank you so much for any help/guidance/suggestions.

Be prepared to pay a lot for the device. You can play regular DVDs on a Blu-ray player.

They sell them on HSN, I've seen them presented often. I see one that has free shipping, and on sale - 376-222. They have others at other prices.
Look at that, then you know what you are looking for, then I would go look at best buy or other places for prices. I find that home shopping channels prices for electronics are always very high, and offer out-dated technology. Better prices for electronics can always be found better elsewhere.

No need to worry about outdated technology since this is already obsolete. VHS tapes went by the wayside decades ago. In fact, DVD players will soon be a thing of the past since streaming and downloading is what's use today. How many new computers include a DVD/CD drive?

I have one. They look just like an old DVD player. Not difficult to use and my CDs have turned out well. I also transfer from an old camcorder with a S video cable.

glb, thanks for the link.
nutmeg, yes, all my tvs are HD. Thanks for the reminder. I had not thought of that. In what general area of Jersey do you live? I am in northwestern Jersey.
think, I am just interested in my own home movies.
Lynn, hubby says the same thing about what he sees on QVC.
Zhills, thank you for the cable name. Some of the tapes will bew from an old camcorder.
Thank you so much for your suggestions and taking the time to post. I appreciate it.

Thought..I bet there's a company in your town/city that would do this for a fee. Maybe price that out. ALSO...check with Craig's List....this sounds like a ""one & done"" type of product...meaning you transfer all VSH tapes then you don't have a need for it anymore. ""Sell Cheap""!

Costco will do this with your tapes for a nominal fee. I've had them transfer 8mm home movies for me to DVD as well, and they do a good job.
