Question 1

Will this copy my VHS store bought movies to cd that can be played on my TV's cd player

Accepted Answer

Some can be ripped to your pc then to DVD (cd's may be too small to fit a movie unless its under 700 megabytes).After saving to your pc, you can use the program or any other program that will burn a DVD.  The DVD will only hold up to 4.2 gigabytes so make sure of the file size before burning or it have to go on to 2 DVD's.When burning, make sure there is an option to make the DVD playable on your TV or other devices (i.e. portable dvd player).  Depending on the age of the player, older models may not play the dvd while newer ones will.In the US, players will only take a dvd if it is formated for NTSC.  PAL formats are for other countries.I have ripped older movies but found newer ones have a copyright block that will prevent you from ripping them.  So if you are hoping to rip Frozen to another dvd, it may not happen.I have used VHStoDVD recently on home made VHS tapes but had problems burning while I was on Windows 8.  Upgrading to Win 8.1 removed whatever was blocking the program and all runs smoothly now.Hope my answer was not too confusing.  Learn the program and have fun.

Question 2

Can I just burn this to my hard drive on my laptop and skip the DVD?

Accepted Answer

Yeah in advanced mode you can pick under preferences what type of file you want to save it as. I have all of mine on my external hard drive

Question 3

Does it include the "video out" cable from the vcr with the usb to the computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has all the cables you need. It has the UBS connector and it has the three RCA cables (red,white,and yellow). It does not have a S-cable but there is a place to connect it if you want to use one for slightly better video output.

Question 4

What compression is used with the MPEG-4 video output (or, in other words, what version of MPEG-4 is being used)? Thank you

Accepted Answer

MPEG-4 AVC is used for creating MP4 video file.
