I purchased a HP DC3000 Moviewriter and a SIMA Color Corrector Pro Series (not SCC-2). I have a bookshelf of VHS tapes I own that I would like to archive to DVD and then be rid of the tapes. The SIMA unit does not get around the copy protection so money wasted there. I searched online and found a post that recommended I edit a file in the capture software but that did not work either. Any suggestions that won't cost a fortune?

I have an SCC-2. It works. I also have a VideoDVD from Adaptec. It
conflicts with too many programs.
The easiest one I've found is AdsDVDXpress. I purchased it at
Walmart on sale for $30. It bypasses the Macrovision. Your tape
deck hooks up to it and it hooks up to your USB port.
A friend of mine has a Sharp DV-RW 340U combination VHS, DVD recorder.
It is an older one. It takes VHS tape to DVD with no problems. The
only catch is you usually have to pick up a used one on ebay. They
only use 4X discs which are getting hard to find.

The way I had to get around it to back up comercial was to use a cheap tv tuner card in a pc.First I hooked the output s-video from the vcr to the tuner card. Then I got a mini y plug with rca plug extensions for the audio out to the sound card of the pc. I made sure that the manual didn't have any copy issues with the tuner card before I bought it.It was a cheap norwood micro from compusa that works good for this purpose only.I would use the program to stream 2 hours video for one dvd-5 or I would have to split the video and use dvd shrink reauthor tool to compress the two video files to on dvd-5.If you try to stream a commercial video to nero it work let you.Use the program with the tuner card and finish using nero vision express to add menus and cut chapters.I get the audio in 2 channels in dolby digital playback.test the audio when playing back the vhs through the computer to make sure it works.
