Re: convert vhs to dvd ?!? HELP Needed !

recorders do this better than others? Does VBR help or hurt?

i can *sort-of* answer yer ?...

yes, the quality of the A/D converter is very important...as to VBR vs. CBR, there has been some debate...i like variable bit rate better, BUT you must have a *high-end* converter to handle it properly...sometimes, "consumer" equipment can introduce issues when attempting VBR...again, much debate.

as to specific models, i have no idea...never looked at or used the VHS>DVDr standalones for comparison...try www.videohelp.com maybe...

anyone with a more detailed answer/opinion?
