Saw this for sale in Argos and wondered if you could get away with recording from one to the other!

Does anybody know?

I think this bit gives it away and AFAIK you can record from DVD to VHS as long is its not copyrighted ;)

- Simultaneous DVD playback and VCR record.

lol - Didn't actually see that bit! It is Monday after all.

So has anyone got one of these? Are they any good?

Ta, Bex

I think it means you can watch a DVD while recording something from the TV. I doubt they will allow you to tape a DVD... (but could be wrong).. ;)

"Record from DVD to VCR (Non-copyright protected discs only)"

:)

Most DVD's aren't copy protected. The license to use Macrovision is prohibitively expensive on all but the most valuable titles, so studios seldom bother. This means if you already have a DVD player and a VCR you can already copy DVD's to tape. If they are protected then invest in one of these . It's not failed on one yet for me, and people I do copies for say they're much better quality than VHS pre-recorded tapes. I mainly use it for films I'm not too bothered about. Rent 'em, tape 'em, eventually tape over them. Means I get really very good quality for £2 rental on films I wouldn't buy anyway. A bit pricy, but I got mine with my DVD player so it was half price :D
