Oh, but this is from an era when we were itching to leave videotape behind, right? We would only have appreciated that if we owned lots of unique recorded material.
I had a first generation DVD set top recorder by magnavox back in the early 2000s. I did the same thing by swapping a computer dvd burner into the unit and it worked great! Nice job on this video.
Looking at some old forums, I'm not so sure now about disabling macrovision, but I have a DVD/HDD recorder from that era. There are some neat things you can do and I assume that the DVD part of your unit should work too. if you want region free on this recorder, use the following codes from the remote: - open the loader tray first 1) press "Setup" on the remote control; 2) go down padlock icon without selecting it; 3) press "0" button seven times; 4) a message will appear confirming that "your unit is now region-free" 5) if it is already region free and you do this, you will deactivate it - just follow these steps again to reactivate
I haven't yet watched this video (I will later.), but I recently found out that there actually was a D-VHS VCR that actually had a built-in DTV tuner. That D-VHS VCR was the Mitsubishi HS-HD1100U. I did see some, for sale, on eBay. It might be interesting to check it out if you haven't already. I just wanted to share that with you all.
Panasonic and Toshiba made similar units. I have a Panasonic DMR-ES45V which is basically a VCR/DVD multi-recorder with card reader and HDMI output (along with the standard analog IO). I also have a Toshiba D-VR5 VCR*/DVD "-" recorder with HDMI output (and analog IO)...It doesn't have a card reader or the ability to record "+" format DVDs, but otherwise is the same as the LG and Panasonic units. *(with SQPB)
Interesting that it can actually output VHS through HDMI. And since you can change the resolution of the output, does it upscale VHS footage well? Because of so, then this could be a good player to get for archiving recorded blank tapes.
@@strawberrymochiizthe ad conversion is where the money is tho, no means of upscaling will help you get rid of drop outs and missing scan lines of the og material
It will be important to know if the HDMI output takes the Y-C source signal from VHS or it just takes composite pin and converts it to digital. A digging in the schematic should probably answer the question unless it uses massive SoC modules where there is no schematics for.
I don't know why youtube mess around with notifications, I always have to search for your videos because I don't get any notifications, why is Google so broken! Love your channel :)
I have one of these i'm trying to fix that also has a disc drive issue. Do you think if I replaced it with a GSA-4166B it would work? Found one on Ebay that pretty cheap. The rest of the drives (4163B-4165B) are all over $40.
I bought a used Audinac ADVDR-005 DVD recorder and player, but unfortunately the laser is too battered to use it as a recorder. As a safa player... I save myself at least to use it as an intermediate, since the recorder does not have a composite input (yellow RCA), but component, and the DVD has a component output...
This just screams 2000's! The good old days.
And today, we have nothing like this. Nothing.
@@dlarge6502 Which is only natural, the number of potential buyers would be too low to manufacture a device like this with decent quality, I'm afraid.
My local library used this exact model player for digitizing old VHS tapes.
Nice stable image with s-vhs, looks a lot like Laserdisc. Wish I'd known about this unit back in the day.

That’s bad ass

Does it only work on LG? I have a hdmi panasonic dvd burner vhs combo and a magnavox funai

I still own the pioneer DVD recorder / VCR recorder.
BTW-I called the number on the sticker and it still works as a way to,get LG!

Yeah the ES45V is a beast, i have the es46v and ez-48v
Its a very nice unit
I have the more "Modern" RC389H with USB Port as well. 2XScart. And 6 Head VCR
My first DVD burner (for a PC) was the GSA-4163B.

Good question and I'd love to know the answer. But, you could use Topaz AI to upscale after converting VHS to digital.

What does the Menu for recorded DVDs on this machine look like?
I don't know why youtube mess around with notifications, I always have to search for your videos because I don't get any notifications, why is Google so broken! Love your channel :)
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe its why I have 40k subscribers and only see 1500 views on some of my videos. :(

How did you get it to 1080p
I would really like to see VHS footage in 1080p
This is so similar to the JVC DR-MV150. Minor differences between them.
You should be able to take the mounting lugs off the original drive and fit them to the new drive.
Nope. Tried it.
Hello where did you buy this???
I could like some information ☺️☺️☺️
Just got one on eBay for $60 to backup all my old VHS tapes 🎉
If I'm not mistaken you can disable copyright (macrovision) restrictions on the service menu.
Do tell!
Oh that has the same menu as my JVC DvD recorder that's interesting tbh
HL Data Storage is Hitachi-LG data storage
I need this. Does anyone know if it was released in PAL territories?
Yes I saw these. Toshiba also made one.
It was definitely dropping frames in the dub back to VHS. Some people can't see dropped frames but I can't NOT see them. 😉
where can one buy this amazing lG
Selling on eBay now!
Does it record on to s-vhs?
No
What is the pric.
my grandfther has this i think late 2005 early 2006
The against that is only for the North American standard NTSC

Great Demo --- Does this machine play a S V H S tape - it appears it does - many thanks for verifying!
I believe it will play SVHS tapes with VHS quality.
@@databits thanks for the info
I found the same exact machine at thiftstore for 12bucks only problem it didnt have a remote ebay $10bucks
AQUI NO BRAZIL NÃO FABRICAM MAIS.TENHO UM COM DEFEITO QUE NENHUM TÉCNICO DO BRAZIL TEM CAPACIDADE DE CONSERTAR INFELIZMENTE
Does this play 60fps
The music during that Japanese kid scene scares me
22:08 Probably of the copyright strikes....
Lovedy lg,pity it got stolen
I just picked on up earlier this week for 10 dollars
LG is a south korean company
I've always found LG to be poorly produced trash that doesn't last for very long.
Not true
I have a dvd vcr recorder i bought in 1999 and After 30 years still work perfectly and have e really good general quality
