Is transfer 'copy-protected' or macrovision VHS tapes to DVD. There is no need to complain about it. It's by design.
Your homemade tapes will transfer just fine.

I have a lot of VHS tapes that I want to convert to DVD. The easy way seemed to be an all-in-one DVD recorder/VCR unit. After a bit of research and looking, I found a Pioneer DVR-RT500 DVD/VCR Player Recorder at Sams Club for $219. Could not pass up the price ($499 list on Pioneer website) so I bought it. Before I am past the return period, I want to know if anyone has had any experience with this unit or the RT300 which appears to be the same machine with a different face. Except for a terrible manual, so far it seems to work just great.
Any opinions on any of the other brands are also welcome. Thanks for the help.
