To convert a VHS tape into the DVD format, the first and most important thing which is to be kept in mind is that you need to use a good video cassette recorder. The DVD looks only as good as the feed it receives from the VHS player, and while nothing can be done to enhance the quality of the VHS tape, you must make sure you have a high-quality, four-head VCR. If you do not have a high-quality, four-head VCR, you can borrow one from a friend or neighbour who has a high-quality, four-head VCR.
Once you have a high-quality, four-head VCR, it is important that you adjust the tracking on the VCR first. This helps eliminate the distortion. Then you have to use the standard play quality in order to maintain the recording quality and pack in more of the video into one DVD. As far as possible, it is advisable to use either the DVD-R or the DVD+R format. The least step is to finalise it so that it can play in other DVD players after it has been converted.
