DVD_RW discs: What do we use for say,4 hours of recording?

To get 4-hour capacity, you either need DL (dual layer) blank disks (and a recorder that supports DL disks), or you need to record at slower speed (inferior quality). All of the major disk flavors (-R, +R, -RW, and +RW) come in DL variants.

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR.RP

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

The DVD-R blanks will hold 4 hours of video, but whether or not your Toshiba recorder can write to such double layer DVD blank depends on its capabilities, which I can not assess.

I have used both DVD-R and DVD+R as blnaks. I have not tried DVDRW but I ddon't see why that wouldn't work.

My dvd recorder has different settings. It can record anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours on one disc depending on what setting I use. I usually use the SLP setting on my dvd recorder so I can record up to 6 hours on a disc.

Depends on the quality/rate of the video or your recorder's settings. You can fit 297 minutes (5hrs) on a 4.2Gb DVD at a 2mb per second speed. It is mainly up to your DVD writing software and the settings you choose for it. Most DVD's from movie studios are from 4-8Mb per second, 8Mb gives your 74 minutes of time, and 4Mbs 148 minutes. The quality of the video is naturally better at the higher rate, but you can't "add" quality or clarity simply by increasing it's rate, it may have the opposite effect in extreme cases.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that you can record up to 2:40:45 using the standard (SP) quality setting. Even using a double layer disk, you can only get about 2 hours and 13 minutes at the high quality (HQ)setting. For most DVDs the SP setting on the 4.7GB disk looks great.

i've been using this system for burning dvd's for over two years now. what is really great ( at least for me) is that when i have the info to a cd or dvd, i can then make a duplicate very fast. i do a lot of different record keeping for members of my family. i do the recording in - super long play - mode. this gives me 8 hours and 7 minutes of play-back on each dvd. and i can make that copy in less than 20 minutes. with no hands on other than initial set-up. that's really exciting. hope this helps --- jim

Yes, you can use +RW, -RW dvd's. Itvdoes not have a tuner, so you have to use the rca video from a tv tuner to the input of this recorder.

you have 12 hours on your DVD. Run the first tape. Put it in pause, insert the second tape and continue recording.

I'm sure that depends on the settings available on your recorder. My Panasonic VHS/DVD recorder allows 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours on these single layer discs. You'll need to check your manual. I imagine the resolution gets worse as the time lengthens but I've done several off TV at the 4 hour setting for movies over 2 hours and they look fine on playback. Hope this helps.

I generally use TDK CD-R Music/Audio 700 MB 80 MIN for all my masters. I have used those or whatever is on sale as the copies. I run at least a dozen copies a week for a radio show I produce & have been extremely happy w/the Zipspin unit for about a year.
