Out with old tapes
The 6,8kg RC185 allows you to copy from VHS to DVD at the touch of a button. I transferred half-a-dozen home movies to DVD without hassle.
The LG185’s DVD component has everything you’d expect in a modern DVD player, including support for the popular DivX video codecs.
DVD recording formats supported are +– R, +– RW and +R DL.
Sadly, using the machine to copy commercial movies is more problematic. I successfully transferred the first movie I tried, but the second refused to copy, saying that the source material was protected using a method called Macrovision.
I get frustrated when copy controls prevent me from making legitimate backups or copies of material that I have bought. Needless to say, I mumbled a few choice words under my breath about the entertainment industry.
