What DVD discs will it record on?

Hi Nancy B. I used TDK DVD-R. This was years ago so I would imagine they have changed by now. I had good luck up until the burner stopped working. Oh well I did get most of the home movies of the kids transferred from tape to DVD.

Yes you can record on DVD's with it but you need blank disks. Unless you get get DVD-RW you can re format and record again

It's not a DVD recorder- only a player so it won't record new material onto DVD like a VHS. You want a DVD recorder. There are a lot of them listed on Amazon. I don't have one personally so can't recommend one from personal experience. Good luck.

My machine would not record on DVD so I sent it back and purchased a different model from Walmart--which would be an easy return if id did not work.

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

These Sony DVD-R Discs (for recording video) should work in your recorder because I see that it accepts DVD-R,DVD+R,& DVDRW (which arereusable DVDs) & I have always prefered Sony over the other brands - Digital Audio Blank discs (also known as Cd-R Audio discs) are for music only. I hope this helps.

I prefer to use DVD-RW media...it also works. But as the previous poster said you have to finalize the DVD in the recorder. After that you can use any DVD player.

I don't believe a blank DVD has any regions format assigned from manufacturing, so they should be able to be recorded for any region. I have not had any trouble recording several different regions from the original DVDs.

I can't answer this question because I have not been able to record on them. The DVD recorder says there is not enough space to record, and none of my burners can recognize or pick up that a DVD is inserted. I have tried different one including Roxio and nothing recognizes them. Other DVDs work with no problem but these have turned out to be no good for some reason or another.

I too have bought a sony and could not record on it because of copy protection. What good is a dvd recorder if you can't record on it.

R. Tran -No. The MDR513H and MDR515H can only record to DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW or DVD-RW disks.

Works great with Directv so no problem. No DVD recorder will record in HD, it will record HD programming but the recording will play back in SD.

You can't record with a DVD player. Try one of the excellent DirecTV DVR's for excellent quality recordings.

You can only 'continually record' over DVD ReWritable discs. The RW only mean Read Write. The disc has to say 'Rewritable', also. Usually noted below the DVD+RW or DVD-RW on the front of the disc.

The DVD RW is mostly for movies you would need to get CD r or CD-RW that will determine on what your sources that going to do to recording
