Once something has been recorded to DVD, can it be edited on this machine to remove commercials?

Never tried it but because there is only one DVD, I do not think you can edit a DVD unless you had a receiver DVD site.

you would have to use the "Dubbing" function to record to a VHS tape. you would have to start the "dubbing" to transfer a program and then stop recording during the commercial and then start recording the program until the next commercial. if you want a DVD of the program you would reverse the "Dubbing" function to transfer a VHS tape to a DVD. the process is time consuming since you will be starting and stopping the "Dubbing" but i have done it.

Yes, you should be able to edit already burned DVD from this software since it does MPEG editing. You should be able to open up TS_Folder(?) and do edit it. Hmmmm... you should download the trial version from the company's website before the purchase. Just to be sure! Good luck!

Go to epizenter.net like I said before, it's easy, but I'm not gonna post links to DVD ripping software here, since ripping commercial DVDs isn't legal.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

Standard Def only. I don't believe an HDTV DVD recorder exists, at the consumer level anyway. That would be too nice, but probably way too expensive too!

Yes, the unit accepts most common recordable DVD media. You may record directly to DVD or dub from the HDD of previously recorded items.

If your DVD is commercial (not one you made yourself), it is copy-protected. To make the conversion, you must (1) find a DVD ripper that is GUARANTEED to rip protected DVDs (the best one is free), (2) convert the ripped file to (for example) mp4 format using a free transcription tool, and (3) download the final conversion to your player. Under the best of circumstances (i.e., you are an expert), this is not a fast procedure and may not work at all if you do not have (a) at least .5 GB of memory and (b) 20 GB of hard disk working space. I have been creating a master backup of my 300 DVDs for more than one year. My advice is to become an expert or don't start.

It will NOT record commercial DVDs to the hard drive. But it will record any DVD that's not copy-protected, including shows you may record off the air.

Any program that you record can be edited - shortened by removing commercials, adding chapters and giving the recorded program a unique name.

i'm pretty sure you can. i didn't have any trouble doing it. but not copy-protected discs or tapes.

If you use a light scribe compatible DVD you can do it. Don't forget to install the right software though.

>>One thing I've found is that you need a >>"Video Enhancer" to attach to your unit.No you don't. I was able to dub commercially-released video tapes to DVD using this unit and no other hardware.

The previous answers are correct. Recording over or simply being silent in the record mode will edit out what you no longer want on the tape. Hope this helps.

I am certainly no expert on this subject; I only know there are machine specific requirements: I own a DVD recorder that allows me to edit the commercials from TV shows I record. In order to do this I must use -RW discs.I also have a DVD duplicator with which I can make copies of personally recorded home videos. This machine requires me to record the master copy on +RW format.

I thought that if you burn to a RAM disc after editing you can't finalize? My panasonic machine let me edit out commercials on RAM discs but then I couldn't use the disc in another player. So if you use those discs with this player can you play them in another DVD player?

DVD recorders can record off the air programs only if they have a "tuner". The Toshiba DVR670 does have one, but the Toshiba DVR620, for example, does not. A recorder with a tuner can be programmed just like VCR's. DVD discs come in several "flavors" the most common being DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW. All of these are compatible with most recorders, the +RW and -RW ones can be "erased" and rewritten, while the +R and -R cannot.

I dont think so...it is free standing and just used to copy from a master CD or DVD...I would contact the manufacturer...it is a great machine
