Vhs to Dvd problem

durkinjt · Jun 24, 2015

I just bought the Roxio Easy Vhs to Dvd Plus 3. Found a bunch of old Vhs tapes and want to convert them to Dvd. I did this years ago but am having a problem now. I can get the VHS tape to show on the screen and it will show that it is recording. The problem is when it asks to put a recordable DVd into the drive, it won't recognize any of my drives. I tried it on two other computers, so its not bad drives, I know this isn't something most of you folks deal with, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas. T.I.A.

I have an old unit, a Zenith, http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00023CFBM/peteewill-20 , that is is supposed to burn VCR tapes to DVDs. I got it to work exactly once. Thank goodness it worked. It was a home movie a friend took and it is the only home movie I have of my parents. (We never owned a movie camera).

There was a home movie of the old school I taught at. I wasted several DVDs trying to get a recording of this tape. I couldn't get it to work.

Now we just use it to play old VCR tapes and DVDs.
