I know there is a vast amount of expertise in this group which goes way beyond DIY so I am hoping you can help with this problem.
The VHS tape contains a short piece of film that was taken at a wedding
50 years ago, originally on 8mm film, later transferred to the tape. The only VHS player I have access to is an old analogue only "portable" tv with a VHS recorder built in (18" CRT, weighs a ton).I have an old Panasonic analogue/digital dvd recorder which is connected to a fairly new LG flat screen tv via a scart lead which work well together. I connected the old telly to the dvd recorder via another scart lead hoping to copy the VHS tape to the recorder's HDD, using the LG tv as a monitor. After a lot of faffing about with the three remotes I managed to get the dvd recorder to playback through the analogue tv but I can't get it to work the other way.
Can anyone here work out what I'm doing wrong, if it works in one direction why doesn't it work in the other?
I could take it to a specialist photo shop but the quality of the recording is already poor so it's not worth it. The content however is of sentimental value so I keep trying.
Thanks for reading this. finger crossed.
