There is a product called Sima CT-1 that says it lets you copy VHS to DVD.
Can't I just connect my VCR OUT to my DVD Recorder IN?

Why would I need the Sima product?

If it's a home-recorded VHS tape, or a commercial tape that is not
copy-protected, you CAN do exactly that.

To copy commercial tapes encoded with Macrovision analog copy protection.

And for VHS or DVD to DVD recorder you would instead need Sima CT-2 (GoDVD).
