I have a Pioneer DVD Recorder & it has three options for recording, I gather
you could fit a 6 hrs VHS in the XL option... but quality wise I think I'd
prefer not to do it. I'm in the process of recording in DVD format a couple
hundred VHS but in some cases the results have not been the best as far as
picture quality. But then again, it depends entirely on the individual. I
just read a posting here from someone saying he can't notice the difference
between VHS & DVD picture quality!! I totally disagree but everyone is
entitled to his opinion!!
