nice idea, but one issue. i just need another vcr for this. i only
have one.

A TV that has output jacks is another option. RF into the TV the use the outputs on the TV.

i am using my pc to record some of my old vhs tapes to dvd. some of
my vhs dates have some sort of protection. does anyone know how to
get around vhs tape protection? please help.


Macrovision ?

Macrovision is a technique that fools the AGC circuitry on the
standard RCA
input of a VCR which is why the picture would go dark from time to
time and
at some points even go to a blue screen.

You could try using 2 VCR's. Play the VHS tape in one, run the
ch.2/3/4 rf output to the rf input of another VCR, and use the
video/sound out form the
second VCR.
