Dan05979 Posted November 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2009 buy a dvd recorder, plug the laser disc player to the dvd recorder thru the analog inputs and record, very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted November 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted November 28, 2009 buy a dvd recorder, plug the laser disc player to the dvd recorder thru the analog inputs and record, very simple. Isn't the former cheaper though? How much do DVD recorders go for anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted November 28, 2009 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2009 Isn't the former cheaper though? How much do DVD recorders go for anyway? Cheapest I've seen was $70 at bestbuy. back in '03 when sony first came out with them I shelled out over $800 for one, and now its just collecting dust ever since dvr came out on the cable boxes B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted November 29, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 29, 2009 They are really meant for backing stuff up, and converting your VHS library to disc format, as well as making duplicates of other dvd's for small scale (in a company for example) distribution. Some have 2 trays, a read only or ROM & a RW re-writeable/recordable, and some have a VHS part and the dvd part. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Car 09 Posted December 2, 2009 Share #12 Posted December 2, 2009 What do you mean by changing sides?Some movies required you to flip the disc to the other side to watch the rest of the movie.Some movies didn`t require this action.

Joe Posted December 2, 2009 Share #14 Posted December 2, 2009 Several camcorders are able to act as a composite <-> firewire bridge. I converted several 8mm and VHS tapes to DVD by connecting my VCR to my camcorder using a composite cable, then using firewire to connect the camcorder to my PC. It's a clunky long-term solution, but works well if you've just got a few tapes to convert. The downside to any analog conversion method is that the material must be played back at 1x speed.
