View Full Version : VCR Tape to DVD

My daughter got a unit that will take her VCR tapes and burn them to DVD's. Everything works just fine except her Disney VCR tapes won't transfer. That is why she got it. She wants the DVD's for trips so the kids can watch them on a DVD player. Does anyone know how to transfer these VCR tapes? What is she doing wrong?

TIA

Henry

I think Disney tapes are copyrighted, you can't make a copy.

I believe they have anti-piracy features that won't allow it. We have a ton of Disney vhs tapes, too.

Yep, anti-piracy is built-in. Just buy the DVDs.

You can't copy them from tape to DVD in the same machine.. I have a Sima color corrector that connects between a VCR and a DVD recorder that will allow you to do it..
