Copy VHS tape to hard drive

[duvedsbo]

I wonder if I can use dvd shrink to back up VHS movie (copy protected)?

No. You can buy a video capture card, though, and capture it as an AVI, then author it on a DVD. I use the Dazzle DVC90 USB capture device and it works great, and bypasses copy protection.

drf is correct. you need a capture card that will allow you to circumfent the copy protection or a TBC between the source and the capture card.

Should have mentioned I already bought TV Wonder Pro ,but have not shopped DVD burner yet.
Ahh. but If I save it as AVI, would I lose closed captioning when burning to DVD? I need c.c!
