DVD (Digital Video Disc) and VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) combination recorders are useful tools for archiving videocassette content. DVD technology is a more robust, potentially longer-lasting video solution than VCR, which is tape-based and subject to degradation through stretched tape, de-magnetization and environmental problems such as heat. Problems with DVD-VCR Combos can include problems with power, media, recording and playback.
