Product Description
Sima's GoDVD! makes copying between VHS and DVD formats a snap. This single unit will copy DVD to VHS, VHS to DVD and DVD to DVD. Both NTSC and PAL conversions are included for videos recorded or viewed overseas. The GoDVD! digitizes the video signal to reduce sync noise and features 4 output settings to improve image quality. * Easy connection to any DVD recorder * Stabilizes video signals for crisp copies * Digital technology reduces noise in video sync * S-VHS, VHS-C, VHS, 8mm and DVD compatible * 4 output signal enhancement modes- normal, enhanced, darker and black/white * Supports NTSC and PAL formats * Makes perfect copies of any video automatically. TIPS * Some VCRs take a short time to get the tape up to speed which can cause the GoDVD! to improperly detect the color signal in your video. If it happens once in a while, you can simply press the video input select button twice and the problem should be fixed. This lets the GoDVD! synchronize on a good portion of the video signal. If your units does this repeatedly, contact our customer service department (GoDVD@simacorp.com or 1-800-345-7462) for additional help. * Most VCRs sold in the USA only support NTSC (the standard used by USA, Canada and some other countries). You need a VCR that is multi-format that supports both NTSC and PAL (the standard used by Germany and other European countries). Then you can use the GoDVD! with this VCR as the GoDVD! will work with both NTSC and PAL video signals.

Great for DVD's, not so great for VHS July 11, 2008

since this item is no longer available in stores, i payed a good amount to obtain this item (i own the CT-200 model) i've had the chance to play around with it and felt i should write a review to inform others who may also want to make an investment in this product. here's why i give it four stars:
i originally bought this item so that i could view my vhs tapes on my dvd player. i have a modest sized copyrighted vhs collection. the first two tapes i transfered to dvd came out perfect. i was extremely happy with the picture quality of the transfer. on my third try, the sima godvd broke the copyright protection, but produced a shaky picture. the quality of the transfer to dvd was very bad. the same thing happened with the fourth tape i attempted to transfer. long story short, half of my vhs transfered perfectly to dvd, the other half didn't. i thought at first that maybe i had purchased a defective godvd even though it was still sealed in its original box when i got it. i decided to try an experiment. i went out and purchased another copy of a vhs tape that didn't transfer. this time...it transfered a very good picture, but not great, but definetely better. what this means, i don't know. i read reviews of others who have purchased this item (on amazon and other sites) and found that some had similar problems, that only about half of their vhs transferred successfully.
i decided to try it on my dvd collection and was very satisfied with the results. works every time with dvd's. honestly, it is difficult to tell the difference between the dvd-r copy and the original disc. the quality of the picture transfer is that good! i highly recommend you use a s-video cord with this item.
this item is easy to set up and easy to use. i found the enhancement features to be worthless. the normal mode is just fine.
so to sum up: if you're using this item to make back up copies of your dvd collection, buy the sima godvd with confidence! you will be very happy with the results. if you have a very large copyrighted vhs collection that you want to transfer to dvd, be prepared for only about half of your collection to successfully transfer. and be prepared for alot of headaches. you may get lucky and all your vhs will transfer. but others, including myself, have not been so lucky.
5 stars for dvd use; 3 stars for vhs use.

Can't live without it January 27, 2008
I bought mine about a year ago, just in time. I have run into the lighting problems that some have run into, but not on all tapes. On VHS it seems to work about 50% of the time. I'll take it though. It's better than nothing. I haven't copied too many DVD's but have never had a problem with that. It's not perfect but I wouldn't sell mine for anything.

i have had no trouble with this, allows to record copywrite dvd and vhs, you can adjust the brightness or darkness. unplug the vhs cable when recording dvd's and vise/versa. for best quality. you can even add light or dark to your camcorder footage.
