Hello, I'm looking to purchase a dvd recorder in the upcoming week. I want some affordable that will transfer a lot of old vhs movies I have and some tv programs. I also need the burned discs to be able to be copied using a nero program on my computer. I read some dvd copies made in dvd recorders arent able. I am looking at Best Buy because they have a sale on all dvd recorders. Am looking for something under $200. Can anyone give me any advice or recomendations? Thanks for your help all.
The Toshiba D-R4 is supposed to have the best TBC of any recorder on the market, which would make it a good choice for VHS to DVD. I don't know if that's true of the D-R5, the current model, or not. You could probably pick up a D-R4 on ebay for half that $200. If any of those tapes are copy protected, you'll need a stabilizer to copy them.
