Can you do VHS video to DVD?

FAQ - Video Conversions from film and tape to digital forms
Yes! We prefer you go to DVD because you will be getting a better quality AND you will be able to fully utilise the capabilities of this DVD+RW format in the future AND you can get up to 4 hours per DVD (as opposed to 1 hour maximum on a CD). We, however recommend 2 hours video per DVD as it maintains a maximum of quality that should look good even on large screen TVs.

These usually have a COPY button facility - just choose the 'To DVD' direction. If you need to edit the video, you will probably be better off with a Hard drive/DVD Recorder combination.

RCA didn't use Lines of Resolution in their CED specifications, but a bandwidth of 3 MHz translates to about 240 Lines, the same resolution as VHS, but less than the 425 Lines of LaserDisc and 500 Lines of DVD. The subjective evaluation of people familiar with all these formats is that CED is better than VHS, but not as good as LaserDisc or DVD.

What are the benefits of DVD video over a VHS tape?

StarBeam Studios - FAQ
DVD contains high quality digital video, and in image superiority can beat the long outdated poor performer of the old analogue VHS any day. The audio can also be of hugely superior quality, even better than CD, and can also include a multiple channel soundtrack. Performance of the DVD does do not diminish with use, like a VHS tape does. There is no physical contact in the reading of the disc, and so nothing to wear out.

Can you make me a video, or may I borrow a film?

FAQ
My position is that videotaping 16mm is illegal without written permission from copyright holders. This keeps me out of court, and legal. Educational film companies have been very cooperative with cin?16, and I encourage interested parties to contact distributors directly, who will gladly sell videos. When films are out of distribution, I'd be happy to have anyone contact the filmmaker directly to discuss royalties, as many of these people are older, and could use the money.

DVD Video Planet - Dvd-video Faq
DVD Video employs a higher sampling rate than even audio CD's, producing fuller, more textured sound. Because DVD audio is recorded and stored digitally, it surpasses VHS in reproducing the "surround" aural experience of the cinema at home. DVD Video can also offer up to eight alternate audio tracks, which can feature foreign language translations of movies and music videos or other special audio commentary, and up to 32 sub-titles or karaoke tracks.
