scorpion 0 Posted December 21, 2007 You will need the original VCR. If there are any flaws in the head, or if it was misaligned then the original VCR will be the only one to give you the video. What is the make, and model of the time lps VCR? You may have to rent that exact model to play back your video. I do not know of a service that would do this. You would have to keep every VCR ever made to provide that kind of service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Scorpion stated, we need to know the make and the model of your VCR.. Dependent which one it is, chance are that a different model make work.. To transfer video from VCR tapes to DVR environment so that you can burn CDs or DVDs, well that also depends on the format of what your VHS tapes contain... Let us know and I am sure with all our combined knowledge in this forum, we should be able to come up a solid answers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcs 0 Posted December 29, 2007 I have never had problems with time lapse, have played back on samsung and mitsu from sony and mitsu, Most police stns here have dif brand to what we sold and installed, As long as its time lapse and played back in the same format - 8/12/24hrs/24l it will work, Playing back to burn to cd/dvd- I wouldnt bother with cd as it will fill up quickly, You can buy an adapter that can plug into USB on a pc/laptop and record composite input from anything like a tv, camera, vcr etc etc, I used to use them on dvr's with no dvd/cd burner, but get sick of going back to site for events. SPECIALLY XMAS !!!! BTW I allow 20-30gb a day from my dvr's, 500gb min in a machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
