Will I have problems connecting my VCR between my TV and my DVD player?

DVD FAQ - DVD-Copy
It's generally not a good idea to route the video from your DVD player through your VCR. Most movies use Macrovision protection (see 1.11), which will cause problems such as a repeated darkening and lightening of the picture. If your TV doesn't have a direct video input, you may need a separate RF converter (see 3.2). Or better yet, get a new TV.

If your TV doesn't have a direct video input, you may need a separate RF converter (see 3.2). Or better yet, get a new TV with s-video inputs. You may also have problems with a TV/VCR combo, since many of them route the video input through the VCR circuitry.

Can DVD record from VCR/TV/etc?

Hier finden Sie die aktuellen Infos zur DVD Technologie
Long answer: The minimum requirement for reproducing audio and video on DVD is an MPEG video stream and a PCM audio track. (Other streams such as Dolby Digital audio, MPEG audio, and subpicture are not necessary for the simplest case.) Basic DVD control codes are also needed. At the moment it's difficult in real time to encode the video and audio, combine them with DVD-V info, and write the whole thing to DVD. Even if you could do all this in a home recorder, it would be extremely expensive.

Is there a TV or DVD player at the house?

FAQs- Baja-house.Com
No. No TV, no movies, no phone. You can always bring a portable movie player if you want movies. We have young kids and we bring a small-screen portable DVD player so they can watch movies. The kitchen has a thatched palm (palapa) roof and two walls, but it’s open on the two sides facing the ocean. This means the view from where you cook and eat is spectacular. It also means you need to clean up after each meal or you will be visited by ants and desert mice.

Question 1. Can I bring my DVD, VCR, TV, etc. from the U.S. and will they work?

Expats in Italy - Living in Italy FAQ
The answer is yes and no. In Italy we work on 220 v electricity and the U.S. is 110 v. To run electrical items you will need a transformer that will change the voltage. This is not always the best thing to do to your electrical equipment. Some things are not affected but others, like CD players, do not turn at the right speed so everything will be a little off. Also, in Italy we watch TV on the PAL system while in the US they use the NTSC system.
