    TV DVD Burner

    I can copy to VCR anything displayed on my TV using the 3 output RCA type sockets. The VCR is a Go-Video about 6 years old. The TV is a modern 4:3 type. My question is: Could I in the same way copy to a DVD burner? I don't want to invest in a burner for nothing. And I do want to copy VCR tapes to DVD.

    Suggestions?

    "Could I in the same way copy to a DVD burner?"

    Actually, in your case, violating the "rules of hooking up", linking a tabletop DVD recorder THROUGH your VCR, should allow you to accomplish your purpose - Because, if I remember correctly, your old reliable GOVideo VCR eliminates Macrovision copy protection...

      I you mean dvd recorder, yes. If the go-video-vcr doesn't eliminate the copy protection a TBC/video stabilizer will. I got one at my local electronics store for $50

        Let me restate my question. Anything displayed on my TV, including movies from a TV DVD, can be copied to my older Go-Video VCR. I have the 3 output RCA jack type terminals of my TV connected to 3 RCA jack input terminals on the VCR.

        So the question is: Can I do the same to a new TV DVD reader/writer such as a Panasonic I saw at Fry's costing about $200. It does have RCA jack input terminals.

        But I wondered whether the Go-Video might record what the DVD reader/writer could not. I think newer equipments have a chip to prevent copying, whereas the 6 year old Go-Video might not.

        By the way, this particular Go-Video VCR does not claim to be able to copy copy-protected VCR tapes, whereas older Go-Video VCRs do make that claim.

          "The VCR is a Go-Video about 6 years old."

          As far as I know, all Go-Video VCRs of that era have the ability to circumvent Macrovision copy protection.

          It will not be able to copy encrypted videos from "premium" and "pay-per-view" channels (Nor will your Go-Video). Understand that not ALL videos from such channels are encrypted...


          "including movies from a TV DVD"

          What is a "movie from a TV DVD"?
