I use Sony DVD-r because they just work better for me. You can chose HQ which is a high quality dvd with this system. In the menu under AVCHD dubbing you can create a HD dvd. In the menu under setup, rec quality you can choose HQ, which is the highest quality standard def dvd recording.

Yes, you should finalize each disc after recording. Since the recording will be in real time you so not have to watch the recording. If it's an hour long you can come back in an hour and it should be complete.

If you record in the ACHVD dubbing mode your play back option is the blue ray player. If you record in any of the other modes such as high quality (HQ) or the standard quality you can play back on a regular dvd player.If you record in the HD quality you should record in the ACHVD dubbing to retain that quality. I usually record two disc, one in the HQ and one in the ACHVD dubbing mode. Some friends and family still do not have a blue ray player yet.

After inserting the dvd the menu options should appear. You have to format the dvd before recording and finalize after recording. When the format option appears select the yes option. It will take a few minutes to format...recording should begin afterwards.

I use the dvdr- with this system because they worked better. I tried the dvdr+ and I had problems.This system does not include a USB cord.
1522035
Not too much of a difference between +/- dvdr's, from experience, "-" are more compatible with a lot of players.
1522036
No....this system is not a blue ray burner but you can make a dvd with the HQ quality or your can dub your ACHVD files with this system. The options for both are in the menu. After inserting your disc and connecting your camcorder or memory card, press the return button to access the menu options...chose your settings, video to dvd and recording quality ect...then press record.

Hi Dan, you can connect the camcorder to a computer via USB cable. From this link, https://docs.sony.com/release/HDR-CX250_CX260V_CX580V_PJ260_PJ260V_PJ580_PJ580V_PJ600_PJ600V_XR260V_guide_EN.pdf ,on page 174, youll find information on setting the camcorder for USB transfer. -Vincent

The Sony VRDVC20 records INPUT coming into the unit in "real time" (normally video/audio feed from a camcorder or VCR) via the jacks on the back of the Sony VRDVC20 (composite or firewire). If you have recorded a video clip on a camera or camcorder that you wanted to record onto a DVD that is formatted in the Sony unit, and ready to record that input, you simply have to start playback on the camera device and then start recording on the Sony VRDVC20. Does it take .mov, .avi, .wmv, .mp4, h.264, and other common videos from a media card and burn them directly to DVD's without playback? No. The newer models introduced a media card slot for specific use, but that's another story since you're asking about the VRDVC20.

I haven't tried that, or been in a situation where I've had to use that setup. Once you connect the camera via USB (there's a USB cable that is VERY short built into the camera and another usb connection next to the HDMI connection on the camera) it places the device into USB mode, so it may very well not be able to record while it's connected to USB. You may only be able to transfer files while connected through USB. I hope this helps.....

I spoke with somebody from Sony support extensively with this issue yesterday. They said they had no solution, and that this is a new problem to them. I am only having this issue on one of my computers, so I just use the one computer that works to import pictures. It is a strange one!

Probably not. I've had two Sony camcorders, and both have come with software and cables for importing video from the camera onto a computer. Using the appropriate software and connection that Sony provided will be much faster for importing video, as this device is only capturing the signal as fast as it is played (like a VCR). My older camcorder connected to a firewire port (also known as IEEE 1394) which is not always found in newer laptops/pcs, so if you were desperate, you could use the ION. My newer one uses PMB software and the camera connects to a USB 2.0 port. In some cases, you can save to a memory stick and then use a card reader on your pc for the memory stick.

I just had the cam on the base and connected the usb cable to my laptop. I think there's a setting in the camera that I had to select but it came up after it picked up the connection.

I have never tried to access the other menus. Or at least I don't remember as it's been a awhile. The camera defaults to camcorder once it's turned on. You might want to cycle through the menu a few times to see if you can locate the other commands that you're interested in.

I bought this to record from my DVR box. Can't seem to convert what I've recorded on the DVR to Sony disc. Any help

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

For me, the easiest way to do it is by inserting the memory card directly to my computer. You should also be able to connect it via USB port, just be sure to check the cam´s USB connection settings and drivers.

Thanks. That worked! I was able to import video from my hdr-hc3 using imovie 2009 with those tips.

If this is from the External SD card to your hard drive, could it be that you used that card in another video recording device too? Or, if it's copying to your DVD drive, older drives may require conversion from AVCHD. I don't have such a drive, so I cannot test what the error message would be in that case. I sometimes use it to record in MPEG2 for use on older DVD players, letting the camera do the conversion. Maybe that's what you have to do.

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.

it's been a long time since I've used mine....I converted to digital, but as I recall, it worked with my older computer and when I bought a new Toshiba laptop, it was not compatible with the usb input. I tried a few things that Best Buy suggested, but I couldn't get it to work. That's not to say there isn't a way...a converter perhaps. I will say that this was a great video camera. I've got dozens of videos that I will soon pull out and watch. I loved it, but technology advances very quickly.
