Hi all,

Can someone recommend a good VHS player / recorder for a reasonable price ? I am looking to put some old videotapes onto DVD Via Express Pro 5.7. I expect I will end up buying an Canopus ADVC-55 for the conversion.

Cheers

There are many VHS/DVD "players" that would work. I've seen them very cheap at Walmart, etc.

Alot of peope use SVHS decks with built in TBC (Timebase Corrector) this helps when capturing old vhs tapes of poor quality.

I personally use a Panasonic AG-7650 SVHS playback deck. It is an old broadcast deck. The output quality is very high with its built in TBC, proc amp, and adjust Noise Reduction (seperate y & C adjsutments). However most broadcast SVHS decks only playback at SP speeds.

I purchase my deck for $30 off ebay used (good deal).
