Did you solve your VHS to CD problem? If not, I've got a machine
dedicated to doing just that...tape in one hole, CD in another hole,
push the button and viola.

I'll loan it to you for shipping costs. Let me know.

Now you have my interest!

I have VHS player - Roxio software + USB adapter to PC that does OK
except that the software quits recording every time the signal drops
out from the VCR. They are all Kids Christmas tapes that I foolishly
offered to load to DVD.

Any suggestions?

There once was an aide for copying video tapes called a rabbit, it was
essentially a sync regenerator (PLL).

?-)


That's for tape-to-tape, where the original has copy protection.

I'm doing home camera tapes to DVD.

Due to the nature of tapes, sync degradation can be a problem. Thus a
sync regenerator may be the solution.

I'll check it out... maybe just roll my own... I've tinkered in video
since I was a kid... even made a decrypter for over-the-air pay TV
that was better than that provided by the company :-}

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
