One way to convert a VCR or VHS video to DVD by using an analog converter such as Video 2 PC and saving the video to a computer and then burning it to a DVD disc. Walmart also offers a service to convert VHS videos to DVD.
You Can't go wrong with a Sony or Toshiba,Sony SLV-D360P DVD Player / VCR Combo or Toshiba SD-V391 these models respectivly.
Try to buy a DVD converter. This is great for transferring VHS to DVD. You can find it on the internet, but it is very rare. Be sure and I think that you will not go wrong.
Cable hookupyou can string them in order wall to cable box ( if needed ) box to vcr ( for recording ) vcr to DVD and DVD to tv. Mine is hooked up wall to box, box to splitter, splitter to tv ( I have dual tuners for pip ) then coaxial out plugs on DVD to coaxial in on tv ( I don't use a vcr any more but if I did it would be after the splitter and before the tv.) There is no need to send cable to the DVD unless it is a recorder also or if you don't have auxiliary inputs on the tv.
The VCR system is no longer used by almost any company. This makes the purchase of a dvd/vcr combo very difficult to find. You can go to Ebay.com and find one that is used.
You can do it, and you don't need a "combo" machine. Any VCR can be connected to a DVR to copy old tapes to DVDs. The quality won't be as good as an original DVD, because the videotape is an analog recording and has to go through A-D conversion before it can be recorded on a DVD.

In just a few short years, the VCR has gone from being the king of the home theater to being a piece of antiquated technology. Devices like DVD players and digital video recorders have made the VCR all but obsolete. However, there are people out there that still have a VHS tape library, though, and those people probably still want to be able to watch their old tapes. You can easily and cheaply add a VCR to your home theater setup. You can find a cheap VCR just about anywhere, especially online at sites like Pebble.com. Since VCRs are becoming so outdated, the demand has gone way down, and as demand goes, so go prices. So, you’ll be able to find a standard VCR for as little as $10 through the internet. Another option that you may want to pursue, though, is a relatively new idea that electronics companies have been using to spice the VCR up. This option is the DVD/VCR combo unit. While being the same size as a standard VCR, the DVD/VCR combination unit combines both a DVD player and a VCR, allowing you to utilize new technology, while still being able to watch those old VHS tapes that you stocked up on throughout the past couple years. The DVD/VCR combo units are obviously going to be more expensive than your standard VCR, but the increase in price is definitely worth the investment. You’ll be able to get a lot more use out of a DVD/VCR combo than you will out of just a standard VCR. Also, you’ll have more room in your home theater space to expand for other new technologies, like a BluRay player. No matter which way you go, though, you’ll be able to pull out your old VHS tapes and watch the movies that you love. It all just depends on your taste, your budget and how much room you have in your home theater setup.
You'll need your DDVDR, a VCR with video/audio out or s-video out, a pc(maybe a mac), and an AV cable. Connect the cable to the DDVDR and the VCR, then plug DDVDR into computer. Install necessary software and drivers, insert a tape, and you're finished!
To connect all your devices to your surround sound system, you will need to use an HDMI switch or an AV receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. Connect each device (DirecTV, cable box, DVD player, VCR) to the HDMI switch or AV receiver using HDMI cables. Then connect the HDMI switch or AV receiver to your surround sound system using an HDMI cable. This setup will allow all your devices to play audio through the surround sound system.
You don't want to do this. The VCR will make the video look like crap. Get something called an Audio-Video Switch. This is the best way to hook multiple devices to a tv. Also, DVD signal has a copy protection signal in it called Macrovision. You could go from the Xbox to the VCR then the TV using a device called a "Video Signal Stabilizer."
Go out from the dish set-top box and into the vcr and then out from vcr into the tv. Most receivers have outputs that are RCA (Yellow/Red/White). On the back of your VCR, you should have inputs for RCA. Also have inputs on the back of the Television. There are two ways to go if it is a non-HD receiver: Coaxial and RCA ---- Take the cable output from the back of the receiver (it says "out to tv") and connect that to the input on the VCR. Then take another cable and attach it to the output on the VCR and connect that to the TV's input. This requires you to set the TV to either channel 3 or 4 depending on the setup on the VCR. ---- Take the RCA (Yellow/Red/White) from the receiver to the VCR inputs and plug them in. Hookup the VCR to the TV using the Coax or using the RCA output on the VCR. Note: this will require you to set the VCR to the TV/VCR setting in order to view the Video/Audio output. This would require either changing the channel (Coax output) or changing the TV's video input.
Videos to DVD is my fav. It's like a better version of DVD Flick. The best part is its freeware. If you want to spend the money Nero Vision is the best way to go.
