If your Dvd has composite input for recording, I guess this works. Just remind laptop screen is good for low resolution such as 320x240 or 640x480 which are used for retro console emulators full screen output by direct 3d. Normal windows screen is too high resolution even if it is 800x600 to see the characters they will be blurred c

I don't think it will work. DVDs have formated files written to them not raw video like this delivers. Sorry

That should work as long as the DVD has RCA IN (red, white, yellow). You might want to run cables from the OUT on the dvd to the tv to check picture quality.

I would say no. This product picture quality is very poor and the vertical hold is not steady. I don't recommend this product to anyone.

It has an as card option where you can either record it directly to your laptop or just the as card and then transfer it over to your laptop

If you mean record off tv to dvd It has no coaxiel in or out. You need a cable or Sat. box with RCA plug.

Doubt that this will work for you. I assume you are trying to play your VCR and record on the DVD of your laptop? The VGA port on your laptop is an Output, so you cannot feed from the VCR into your VGA port of your laptop.

yes! use audio video cables(red,white,and yellow). connect the cables to your cam and plug them into the audio video connections(in)on a dvd recorder (toshiba or magnavox)!

This unit comes with power supply and USB cable. It isn't if it will work with your laptop or not it is if it will work with the DVD software you have. I was only able to get this unit to record properly using Nero. I must say that I have had this unit for sometime now and it is still working great.

This DVD recorder is for computers, not your tv. You will have trouble finding a DVD recorder for your tv. Try purchasing a DVR instead.

Yes, provided that your TV is an HDTV. See the review "How to record PC streaming video on an HDD/DVD recorder".

Okay, didn't know that your laptop didn't already have a drive built in that can play DVDs. Anyway, here is what I would try and/or recommend: 1. Hook up the external DVD drive to your laptop via an USB port. 2. Run an HDMI cable from your laptop to your HDTV. 3. Re-direct your laptop display to your HDTV (essentially use your TV as an external monitor). *** Each TV is going to have different settings. On my Samsung I just have to select which HDMI port that I have the HDMI cable plugged into. If the laptop display doesn't automatically redirect I press FN (function key) and then F8 on my dell laptop. Other laptops are FN (function key) and then F7 I believe.

If you are trying to send video from the laptop to the TV, I don't think so. The old TV requires the video be sent on a "channel". This will not make the video on a channel. I use mine to send video from an old VCR to a HDMI input of a HDTV.

the only way you could do that is to hook up an external power source, and then run an e-sata cable from the drive into an e-sata/usb input on the laptop, if it has one. not a viable solution. you need and external dvd model.

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.

Only if it is an external dvd recorder/player, check the compatibility for software version, and operating system supported. Good luck.

It depends. Your laptop will need to have an output compatible with one of the available TV's inputs.

You can, but you should be sure that the port on your laptop is a video OUT and not video IN. Check your manufacturer specs to be sure.
