i can do this with my dvd/hd recorder...but i've never tried

i used to do this back in the day with a dazzle dvc80...worked well, but time consuming

This won't work for 90% of VHS movies. Macrovision will prevent the video, audio, or both from recording correctly. You'd probably have better luck with a VCR/DVD-R combo player. There are devices for removing Macrovision, but they aren't cheap.
