CPRM (Copy Once Recording) Has anyone had this problem and found a way to solve it?
190056
I have a Toshiba DR400 and have been able to record CPRM copy protected programs from my At&t uverse dvr. The trick is to obtain the correct media. The only discs I've located so far are both manufactured by JVC. They are labeled as "version 1.2". Stock numbers for these media are: JVC VD-W47HG5 DVD-RW and JVC Vdw47Eu5 Dvd-Rw 5-Pk (4X). The former are available here on Amazon.com and also from Tiger Direct. I have not recently found the JVC Vdw47Eu5 Dvd-Rw 5-Pk in stock anywhere. It is also important to realize that once recorded, you must still play these back on an dvd player/recorder that is specifically compatible with CPRM. I was not able to play them back on my computer's multi-format dvd drive.

I typically have not had a problem with Software. However, i have seen that happen with hardware. Its best not to have other applications running while recording. Check to make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements.My best work comes from using recording devices that are designed for recording. I use a multi track recorder with a hard drive, then transfer the files to my computer and the load the tracks into Acoustica. I get better performance that way. Most basic PC's/Laptops unless they are specifically designed for recording media, lack the processors and other hardware to get the maximum performance.

Any solution for the memory card format problem of 7 years ago? Still having the same issue with my Kodak EasyShare

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then Ive been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I dont know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

I haven't narrowed down a specific time this occurs...It def occurs when using flash and in low lighting, but occurs at other times as well. Using a very good memory card, can't remember off top of head but it has tons of storage. I have not reformated, my husband keeps telling me too :)Shooting in jpeg only.Guess I'll try reformating first! That would be too easy!

I have the same problem, I can do a one time recording but not a timed recording. According to the instruction manual set up for time recording and set input on/standby switch to standby. What am I doing wrong.

Oh gosh I wish I could help. I don't even have the same computer anymore, so I no longer have the zip file. I do remember spending 2 days to get it straightened out. I would buy a new camera before going through that again. I see some good deals on newer cameras. Good luck!!

I was worried about that also. However I have needed up using it differently. I record training conferences and what I ended up doing was recording in much smaller sections, 1) for ease of location of material that I needed and 2) the finished project was little videos on an intranet site. So while I record over 5 days worth of content stretching over 9 hours a day, I never ran into this problem since I found it easier to make the files smaller for ease of use and finding the exact content I needed. I know this does not help exactly, but look at how you will actually do the recording it may become moot as it did for me. Great device though, very handy.

Yes though you may receive a weird message stating that some footage may not record properly. Never had an issue though. If it pops up inaccurate format simply remove the card (while cam is on) and put it back in. Should fix the problem

I'm completely unfamiliar with this issue. I use my player for my UK and European commercial DVDs. A brief search revealed the CPRM issue has been plaguing people for nearly a decade. Have you tried researching the issue online? There are usually some good tech forums around for discussions such as this one. Good luck.

Are you recording from a a camera or another source using a rca input if will record in real time. It will burn to the disc when it is finalized. hope this answer your question

Mine is doing the same thing! I put in a message to Crosley support but I may just return it. It skips on the last song of every record.

You didn't look at the manual did you? There is a page on the DVD's that this Toshiba will record on, unfortunately it's very few. Really to record you have to find disks that are cprm compatible. I emailed TDK about which of their dvd disks that are cprm compatible, and they told me they don't sell them in the US, only in europe or outside of the US. the movie and music industry has clamped down on people copying their media. Go to your electronics store and see how many DVD RECORDERS they have. You won't find many, players yes but not recorders. Even with such disks I tried to copy a movie from one of the premium channels and on the tv screen, it said it would not copy. Ten years ago it worked, not anymore.

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!

According to the instruction manual (page 7), it appears that you have to record until the memory is full. Hitting the record button after that point will delete all content and start recording anew.

Sorry I can't help you. That never happened to me. My brother used it after I converted all my old slides to images to also convert his slides and had no problems. Between us we had thousands of slides! Maybe it is defective? Maybe you can return it for another one. I had to return my first one and they were excellent about it. Hope you can do it! I loved using mine because it was so simple! Hope this helps a bit.
