AS far as all models none do, it would make it too easy for people to 
potentially copy illegal copies of commercial DVD movies of course 
since their copy protected this give them double protection in case 
someone defeats the copy protection. Of course it then defeats 
legitimate copies of your own DVDs.
The way to do it won't cost you an new player (unless you don't have 
one) just run your DVD video outs (composite or component as 
appropriate) to the same on your VHS player-recorder.  You can then 
monitor the progress on your TV with the appropriate leads to it.
