I want to convert dozens of VHS tapes to DVD. Am I better off buying
a high-quality DVR (e.g., Pioneer DVR-640H-S DVD Recorder) and inputing
the VHS signal from a stand-alone VHS player. Or, should I buy a combo
VHS / DVD recorder (e.g., Panasonic DMR-EH75VS Progressive Scan DVD
Recorder with Built-In 80GB Hard Disk) as your article seems to imply?
I'm wondering if the latter, which is designed specifically for
converting VHS to digital, would do a better job converting VHS than
simply pushing analogue signals into the more sophisticated DVR like
the Pioneer? Clearly the Pioneer has many other advantages, e.g.,
recording from airwaves, bigger HD, double layer DVD outputs; but I'm
worried that it won't intelligently grab the VHS signals.
I've read several replies to previous question and most say "don't
buy a combo." Is that still the consensus of the community?
Thanks, Irwin
