I have a Camcorder with a "HDMI" output. Does this DVD recorder have an "HDMI" input so I can burn my videos to a DVD disc???

Yes to the HDMI. External mike -I don't think so. The built in mike works great. Overall I've found this camcorder to be superb. Very easy to use, with responsive controls. I use a 32GB card in mine and when we're at the beach I set it on a small tripod to film our outing and the kids playing.

Hi,I assume you are trying to record the VCR to the DVD recorder. There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN. Then set your DVD recorder to the source IN you plugged in and record. The DVD recorder HDMI to TV has no purpose in the recording, only for watching the recording so it's fine.

Yes, you have to use a cable converter type box or some other form of tuner to feed the input of the DVD recorder

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

Can I modify the question a bit? Does the HDMI output a signal when the camera is NOT recording? In other words, can it function as a "studio camera"?

I am having the same problem. I ended up using my external DVD writer with my Dell. I wanted to import directly to my Mac so I could edit, but Sony didn't put a firewire on this recorder. I can copy the DVD from the camcorder on my PC, but I can't figure out how to edit it on my Mac.

I would think yoiu could if you send the vedio to your computer. I would also check with Redio Shack to see if they make adapter that you could record from a DVD player. I have not tried this yet. I hope this helps.

This recorder DOES NOT HAVE A TUNER making it more complicated to record. I was able to record direct from Over the Air with a TV with a digital tuner! If you do not have digital in included in your set, you would need a digital converter box that has both IN and OUT video/audio inouts. This recorder DOES have an HDMI input. This recorder DOES alow you to schedule recording, but you MUST know the times and CHANGE THE INPUT so the signal will go to the recorder. A bit complicated. It really is alot like when we recorded to our VCR's. BTW, be sure to get DVD+R or DVD-R to record. MOST cable stations are not recordable due to copyright protection. Good luck!

As there are no dvd recorders (except for extremely expensive ones) that record 1080p (HDMI) onto DVD's anyway, I that might actually answer the questions. If you have a DVD player that has the "upscaling" or "upconverting" feature, that is the best you can get, and you would use it with an HDMI to your TV to playback the DVD you have made.

There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN.

I do not believe it can be use for HDMI recording. I have had this for about a year and been just using it with my VCR to convert tapes over to DVD, Blu-ray or even just storing them on my computer. I have been using the white, red and yellow cables along with a usb grabber to get the video to my computer. Sorry for not having a good answer on the HDMI recording.

I am absolutely positive it will work, F. Melamed. The camcorder probably has RCA composite connections (red and white for audio, yellow for video). If it is mono, one of the audio connections should work for both. If not, go to Radio Shack and get a "Y" connector to connect the mono connection to the stereo connections on the DVD recorder. Once you have them connected, turn both the camcorder and recorder on. Make sure the recorder is tuned to the proper input and then put it into "Record Pause" mode. Then, when you have the tape in the camcorder at the right place, just press "Record" on the DVD recorder. That will give you the cleanest start for your recording. I recommend using the 1 hour DVD mode for the best picture possible.

no hdmi input only an output for display this is a great unit if you have tapes that you wish to convert to digital files , you can install your own hard drive and it can read 2 external drives and it is very easy to swap between the drives

I don't think so, this device suppose to enable connecting new HDMI devices into old composite connection and translate sound and image accordingly. To write record or burn DVDs using a PC would require a software like Nero Toast etc. These softwares prepare media prior to fit a dvd before it does it. I assume you could record onto your PC by this would require a recording or a grabbing software. Unless someone has more enlightened answer that's the best of my knowledge.

I haven't tried taking live output through hdmi, but all of the videos I have recorded are clean with no screen menus or time stamp. That seems to be the default, so as far as I know the answer is yes.

Short answer: yes, but no. Yes, there is an HDMI input port, but you can't record from it. The industry is trying to prevent recording of protected content (like from DVD and Blu-Ray discs), and they don't know how to distinguish home-grown movies from blockbusters, so they block all HDMI recording. You are better off using the output features from your camera with a PC. I hope this was helpful to you!
