to alkady-most vhs tapes are copyright protected to prevent you from transfering them to dvd,even if you copy a vhs to vhs tape the coptright protection is transfered to the copy.in order to transfer vhs tapes to dvd you need what is known as a clarifier,this is a small elec device that is installed in the vedio cable between the vcr and the capture card.this device kills the copyright protection.sold at facetvideo.com

For your home movies are they really old and do you remember how they were recorded (your VCR may show with SP, EP, LP, SLP)? What kind of capture card are you using? With ATI AIW cards I know they can be picky sometimes with unstable video sources and accidentally think they are Macrovision copy protected when they are not. A TBC, with explanation that I posted in another thread below, should correct just about any problems if you have the money to buy one.

The best but most expensive choice is to get a full frame TBC. The recommended ones are the Datavideo TBC-1000 or the AV Tool AVT-8710. TBCs not only remove macrovision completely but also stabilize the video input making the result better then the original. One upside to these TBCs is that if you decide not to keep the TBC when you are done you can sell it on eBay for the same and sometimes more then what you paid. The best prices can usually be found at B&H Photo Video (sometimes lower then eBay especially after most sellers? exorbitant shipping fees).
