I've got a Sony PC8 DV and I know I can record from the DV tape to a VHS
tape, but I can I also do it the other way around? From HVS tape to DV tape?

That would depend on your camcorder. My Sony TRV-17 can record from any
external source. Check your owners manual.

Yes. I'm doing it right now with about 100 hours of video on High 8.

You can record from any media source to another. You can record cassette to
CDs, CDs to cassette.

I think his concern might have something to do with the inputs on the
various machines. To clarify for Jacob what Jon was saying is true. However
you (Jacob) will have to use what ever interconnects you have. The most
basic are the standard RCA to RCA. Next up the quality scale is the "S-VHS"
video port for the transfer of the image. The audio will still be limited to
the analog RCA interconnects. Most of today's quality VHS units have both
these choices. However, I think Jacob was referring to the "FireWire"
IEEE1396 interface that DV tape units use to port both audio and video in
and out digitally (lossless). Here, one cannot take advantage because the
VHS deck does not have such interfaces. None that I know of anyway. Hope
that helps...

Most camcorders by Sony can digitize analog video, i.e. convert from VHS to
DV, though in Europe this feature may be disabled.

Thanks all! Got it to work. If anyone else has the same problem let me know
and I'll share how.

I've found that all my tapes can copy except an old one where I get "Copy
Inhibit" on the LCD display. It seems it has some sort of protection.
