and the way I understand some message board talk about these units (cd video recorder) the quality is perfectly fine for transferring home videos to, from vhs--other than the time limitations. It wouldn't make sense to copy from a dvd-ram (dvd camcorder) unless you want to do what I plan on doing--a how to video. I would have a higher res master to duplicate. $199 for the stand alone unit seems to be a good price for the convience based on this 1) you don't have to buy or tie up your PC (especially important if doing quantities) 2) no software/bug issues 3)easy hookup/changeover from different sources I don't sell these things guys--just considering the bennies since I am in the market. When I do need to make these copies of my how to video, I will probably (hopefully) need to make quite a few. and NO. it isn't a "how to fix your TV and VCR" video .
