    I am converting my vhs movies into dvds. I use the plextor pxav100u. the problem is my vcr has only one audio output. so my final has only one audio channel either left or right. i want it to be both. is there a way i can change this and make the sound come from both sides of the speakers? thx

    Open the audio in Goldwave, and copy (and invert) the audio from the one side, to the other. Save.

    to iba7684-if you merge the channel you would still be only getting sound from one channel,today you can buy a two channel vcr for about sixty dollars and if you have a number of vhs tapes to convert to dvd it would be worth it.

    I would agree with what permatex has to say.
    A cheap VCR with stereo outputs will be your best option.
    Alternatively, if you want to listen to everything in MONO then buy a splitter.

    Splitters can be found at radio shack, just take your cable into the store and say "I want 2 mono channels from this single source" they might look at you strangely :)
