Сommercial VHS tape has macrovision which is a form of copy protection. You need a DVD recorder that removes Macrovision or can be hacked to remove Macrovision, but the market for them is pretty small since so few people have VHS tapes anymore.You will need a DVD Recorder, and, Grex video stabilizer(macrovision remover) to transfer your VHS media to DVD.
