I've got some old linearly edited SVHS tapes which I want to put on DVD. I've bought a Daewoo 8150P VHS/DVD combi recorder that copies VHS tapes to DVD and vice versa. The book says it will also copy onto DVD from other sources. Inputs are DV and the usual 3 colour AV sockets.

The SVHS video recorder has S-video and scart outputs. As the Daewoo doesn't have s-video input I have used a scart to AV adapter and connected this to the Daewoo AV inputs. Trying to record a DVD I get the message "no signal".

Any reason for this?

Do you have a camcorder? And does it have a DV output? I may let you send composite video signals into it and out to DV. Many will do this. You might try this way.

Thanks evereddie. My DV camcoder is an old one, dating back to when DV-in was not allowed.
