Chuck, I have both a standalone VCR and one of those copy protected
VCR>>DVD specialized machines, and in both cases (IIRC) the auto
tracking can be manually over-ridden and set to "anything" I want...
Another thing to look for is a Manufactures firmware upgrade for the
(VCR>>DVD) machine. I had to flash two patches into the machine
from cd-r/ISOs I downloaded from their site... It is a Go_Video
that someone gave me since it worked poorly... Seems fine now...

Needless to say the automatic tracking adjustment (if there is
one) does not adjust the tracking properly. I end up with those
irregularities at the bottom, also. I am new to this procedure of recording
my VHS tape material to DVD's. I will slowly record all I want to keep and
live with the lack of clarity etc. that goes along with the process. At
least I am stopping the video from getting worse with age.
