| This device is good for those who would like to copy from DV or analog video sources directly to DVD. I have used it to copy many of my tapes with great success. The automatic chapter is a useful feature: it divides the video stream into 5-minutes chapters to aid forwarding and reverse. When I attempted to use the VC20 to convert my kids' VCR tapes to DVD to view in the car, the copy process went on as usual, then abruptly stopped within the first minute or so. At first, I did not know what was going on, but then I realized it must be the effect of MacroVision, the copyright protection scheme within the analog tape. That means do not by the VC20 if you are thinking of converting your commercial analog tapes to DVD. Comments posted by Hai Vu from United States, November 12, 2006. Rated this writer 8 of 10. |

| I have been using this device to transfer mini-vhs from a Sony Camcorder to DVD. It works flawlessly, recognizing when the tape begins and ends. This saves space on the DVD and produces handsfree operation. I have burned about 20 DVDs with no problems. Comments posted by Todd from United States, December 05, 2005.

| I bought this unit new off of ebay for $250 including shipping. It is a brilliant tool. Many people including myself, want to transfer stuff from VHS to DVD. Before you would need a good capture device (which isn't cheap) and there would be editing and it would just be a big hassle. With this device, you just hook it up to your VCR or camcorder, pop in a dvd-r, and hit record. The writer also comes with a copy of the Nero editing software if you wish to edit. The other great feature is that you can hook it up to your computer via USB and use it as an external dvd writer. And let me say, it is a fantastic writer. SUPER FAST AND NO COASTERS! Highly reccomended. Comments posted by Paul from United States, August 07, 2005. Rated this writer 10 of 10. |
