Just go out there and get yourself a dvd recorder (+ or - doesn't matter), just be sure to get the same type of dvd media as the recorder you are going to get..that's all. Very simple. Enjoy!
I have been trying to make up my mind about buying a DVD burner to transfer VHS to DVD but after reading about the different formats I have made up my mind to wait. It is too confusing and imagine buying the equipment and then haveing more problems. I was thinking of either buying a box to transfer VHS tapes from analog to digital or buying a capture card to do the job. But the compatibility issues are too overwhelming. So I must wait. Plus I read somewhere where a guy transfered his VHS tapes to DVD and then gave away his VHS collection and now several of his DVD'S will not play anymore. GREAT!
