Panasonic manufactures DVD/VCR combo units that are capable of recording either blank media discs or VHS tapes. A convenient one-touch dubbing feature makes it possible to copy VHS tapes automatically onto DVD. The tape begins playback and the DVD burner starts recording to the disc, which will finalize and eject when complete. Old VHS tapes, which become brittle with age, can be copied onto long-lasting DVDs without any of the additional steps associated with converting tape to disc in other ways, such as connecting a VCR to a computer.
