is there away to get my sister 4000plus store bought vhs movies to dvd if so how we bought a vhs dvd recorder but it wont let us record her tapes says error copyright
Fool the copyright. If you have a DVD recorder in that unit, your half way there. Just get another VHS player and hook that to the inputs of the device you own. Play the VHS player and record the DVD, it will not know it is recording copyright materials that way.
Have you tried recording after the VHS Copyright notice on the tape? I don't have an answer, I have ones I want to transfer to DVD also, but I plan on trying to do it using a computer running Linux.
