Once something has been recorded to DVD, can it be edited on this machine to remove commercials?

Never tried it but because there is only one DVD, I do not think you can edit a DVD unless you had a receiver DVD site.

you would have to use the "Dubbing" function to record to a VHS tape. you would have to start the "dubbing" to transfer a program and then stop recording during the commercial and then start recording the program until the next commercial. if you want a DVD of the program you would reverse the "Dubbing" function to transfer a VHS tape to a DVD. the process is time consuming since you will be starting and stopping the "Dubbing" but i have done it.

Any program that you record can be edited - shortened by removing commercials, adding chapters and giving the recorded program a unique name.

No, that is if you can get this POS to record anything. It should finalize the disc when you've finished recording. Remember, Sony has installed software on this machine that prevents you from recording anything with copyright information on it; be it a movie, television show or VHS you already own. The copyright information is encrypted with the source video signal.

yeah simply plug the video cables from vcr to the front of it and go to timer and start new program and then select what time u want it to start and what time u want it to end and just make sure the channel is on L2 and it'll record anything thats pluged up in front. rather its vcr,xbox,cable/satellite,camcorder,etc. and once its done go to titles click on it and you can edit it edit title cut things out of video such as commercials etc.

yes. my connection is from a directv setup and I use it to record football games and tv shows. couldn't be easier. I use the component video with a separate digital audio cable from the directv reciever to get high def sound with the video. you can use editing software to remove commercials easily and either burn to dvd or as jr says below replay the files anytime to your tv using a media player -- add a cheap external drive to store and you never have to keep up with DVD again.

I thought that if you burn to a RAM disc after editing you can't finalize? My panasonic machine let me edit out commercials on RAM discs but then I couldn't use the disc in another player. So if you use those discs with this player can you play them in another DVD player?

Only if the DVD is not copywriter protected. DVDs that have been burned via computer can be copied onto VHS tapes.

yes it does, in your owner's manual, this process is discribed in very simple terms. put a dvd in press record, or, set timer to record later.

There is no reason why a DVD you make with this unit cannot be copied. A finalized DVD does not invoke copy protection, it simply makes it so that nothing else can be put onto the DVD and allows it to play on a most all DVD players. You can also, of course, make several copies by recording the 8mm footage over and over, but that's a bit tedious.

Sorry I can't help you. I have only used it to convert VHS tapes and edit them in order to burn to DVD's.

I have burned a DVD+R and a DVD-R on the Sony DVDirect then used other software on the computer to rip the video off and keep it on the computer as an mpeg digital file.Then I have been able to edit that mpeg audio-video file in other software. Ultimately through the computer, this reedited version of the content could be burned back to DVD when the editing has completed.

Hi. I am Patrick and I have gone thru what you are about to do. Get DVD-R, by using this version you can set the machine to burn so as not to ERASE BY ACCIDENT,, once you burn the dvd your machine will ask you a series of questions about keeping what you recorded, if you want to keep temporaly use DVD-RW this series -rw can be erased and re-recorded DVD-r,,once it it is burned you can delete the title but you loose that portation of the DVD-R

Yes, it will copy DVDs. However, it will not copy commercial DVDs, only those you record yourself.

Absolutely! Remember though that the real beauty of these machines is that you can record on vhs and then dub to dvd. For example, I regularly record to vhs and then burn to dvd movies and series I want to keep. DVD-R units will let you capture and hold a movie/show/whatever for as long as you like, but you cannot transfer that recording to a permanent source. On these units, you can record and then burn to the more stable medium, dvd. However, you can record to vhs and then play it. Remember, anything you do on tape is in real-time, so you can watch it as well as burn it to dvd.

Yes. I record to the hd and them move to other devices but u believe there's an option to go direct to DVD. Regardless each movie is an individual file which you can delete. Also recommend maybe you burn two DVDs before you delete if you go through the time to record it.
