Can you record to an external hard drive in dvd format? Can this be done with this program?

Yes, you can record the analog video in digital format such as MPEG and save it on your external drive. Then you can watch it on your computer or burn to DVD later.

Sorry, but the answer is no, but if you have a blank tape you can record a disk on your tape.

I haven't tried it yet. But if my understanding is correct, it won't record live data to an external HDD... but you can archive recorded data from the internal HDD to and external storage device.

Yes, you can. This unit only records when there is a DVD in the drive bay-I originally thought there was a hard drive to buffer the recording; there is not. Great unit, have using ours for a couple of years.

yes you can. any DVD or CD can be "dubbed" fully or just record what you want to the hard drive. the only DVD's you cannot are those that are copy right protected, (those you buy at the store, latest movies). DVD's made on computers, laptops, by non profit, churches usually do not have protection so as to encourage you to copy and share.

I buy the DVD's and a friend records them for me since I don't have that capability. But I would check out these links: http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/29636-disc-in-burner-not-recordable-help-please/ and also http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/dvd-burner-says-disc-is-not-recordable-dvd.162056/ I assume it may be a software program glitch. If using a computer, I'm not computer savvy enough to say for sure. If using an external DVD recording device - - I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be or more help.

Yes, using AV cables to a dvd recorder. Play program on dvr while recording on dvd recorder. Simple.

Will I be able to record shows that are stored on my cable dvr to this dvd recorder? Has anyone tried this?

Any camera can do the recording. The DVD question is only dependent on the computer you use to transfer the video file to disc, as long as you have the software you're good to go.

It would be a bit overkill. If it is just transfers to pc then to burn to DVD, Windows can already do that for free. If you wanted to take all that and create a video from it all or presentation then yes.

I believe that you can since since the source can be a cd, tape or external device. The "record to" options are USB and tape. I haven't done this but it should be doable. This unit is not a CD burner so you can't record to CD.

Greetings, yes you can record from cable make sure you loop the cables to record into the DVD recorder. Make sure you get a really good brand of DVD+RW best to go to an office supply store.

that's a little confusing but I think what you're saying is dvd output to DVD recorder I believe it will work but copyright stuff probably won't copy

Yes, but you can only copy from the internal HD to it. All program recording is to the internal HD none to the external HD. From time to time you must copy internal to external then erase the internalto maintain space for program recording.

Yes, I have done that...Just open the program and put the dvd in the D drive, then click on open. Put in the right drive to look for it and the picture log will come up. Click on the picture and after viewing you can probably save on your hard drive if desired. Hope that works for you. !

It has been a loooong while since I used that DVD/VCR (mine broke down and was thrown out years ago), but if I remember correctly it could NOT record DVDs. I think there was a button that could copy the content of the DVD to a VCR tape, but only if the DVD wasn't copy-protected, which most are.

Yes. You can copy the contents of the DVD to a USB drive on another computer. Then install it on your dvd-less computer. Verified to work.
