How does the video quality of a DVD recorder compare to a VHS VCR or a standard DVD player?

DVD Photo Slideshow - Convert Photo or picture to DVD, Flash...
DVD recorders can record video in resolutions ranging from DVD quality to VHS quality depending on the recording speed used, somewhat analogous to the different recording speeds on a VCR. Although there is some variation from manufacturer to manufacturer, DVD recorders typically can record in one hour, two hour, four hour, and six hour speeds. The one hour speed will be very close, if not the same, as DVD quality, while the four and six hour speeds will be more like VHS SP and EP respectively.

Also make sure to have your USB 2.0 capture device connected directly to your computer and not through a USB hub. VHS to DVD is dependent on video codec for proper video recording and playback. Please verify you have latest video codec that comes with Windows XP and Windows Media Player. Depending on your computers CPU speed, lowering the quality settings and/or adjusting the resolution settings in the Advanced mode can also help to prevent dropped frames.

How does MPEG video really compare to TV, VHS, laserdisc ?

MPEG-2 FAQ
VHS picture quality can be achieved for source film video at about 1 million bits per second (with proprietary encoding methods). It is very difficult to objectively compare MPEG to VHS. The response curve of VHS places -3 dB at around 2 MHz of analog luminance bandwidth (equivalent to 200 samples/line). VHS chroma is considerably less dense in the horizontal direction than MPEG source video (compare 80 samples/ line to 176!).
