I am still undecided
I bought this DVD Player/Recorder thinking I would be able to burn DVDs or have the option of creating a VHS of over 100 Hi 8 tapes (non digital). I connected my hi 8 camcorder and used the line 2 jacks on the front of the Sony DVD RDR-VX500 machine. I wanted to do partial recording of scenes on about 3 different hi 8 tapes and burn then on a DVD RW+ or a DVD RW- (I tried both). Then I wanted to take a few scenes from a few other VHS tape and burn them to the same DVD to have all the scenes I wanted from my HI 8 tapes plus those on a few WHS tapes on the same DVD But I don't seem to be able to do so. I then was going to load the DVD on my SONY laptop and then do some Digital Editing using Photoshop Premier editing.
I may be screwing up in the finalizing process or even the recording process itself but I seem to be able to get parts of the Hi 8 tapes to transfer to the DVD , but not all, and I can't seem to get BOTH Hi 8 tapes and VHS to transfer to the SAME DVD

Sony could do better
This unit is not one of Sony's best efforts. The one pro I can identify is the easy one-touch recording. It seems to work jsut fine. The cons are fairly significant for one of the more pricey VCR/DVD recorder combos. The menuing system is clunky by today's standards and does not meet the expectations of a Sony product. The worst of the problems is the VCR unit does a very very poor job of playback. I have tried both home recorded and purchased tapes and they do not track properly. So the glitches and jitters show up on the recorded DVD. I have tried adjusting the tracking, but it does not help. I will be exchanging my unit for another brand.
A Must Have For Video Collectors
I was cautious about buying a DVD/VCR recorder and did tons of research before settling on the Sony VX500. I haven't been disappointed. The quick guide for installing was easy to read and follow. I had my DVD connected and made my first DVD in one night. The VCR is top of the line, and plays 20+ year old tapes extremely well. I have several old TV series on VCR tapes, as well as some old home movies. I've already transfered an entire season worth of shows with not a single problem. I use DVD-R dvds and have tried them on a wide assortment of DVD players with no compatibility problems. The sound and picture quality of these transfers is amazing. If you have old VCR tapes, this is the perfect way to convert them to DVD.
