Shortning recordings for transfer to DVD? Is their anyway to cut those final 18 minutes off?

Try the Flexible recording method- Should get much more than 4 hours and 18 minutes using this method

As far as I know you have to turn over the tape at the end of the first half. I would not recommend this recorder. I had to get another brand because it was a cheap machine and came with a tape playing problem right out of the box.

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

Thanks. Do you know where I can find information about how to save the DVD to the HD?

The quick answer is, No. Actually if you are recording a full CD's worth of music, the actual length will be slightly less, say 78 minutes, with gaps between the tracks and space used to finalize the disc. Also, I think that the specification of 120 mm that you mentioned refers to the diameter of the CD disc, which is 120 mm. I hope this answer helps you out.

No. It'll record a few hours worth of stuff. But when the film gets full, it'll start recycling from the beginning of the video. So the most recent recordings you do not lose.

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD. Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions?

I was wondering the same thing. we have never transferred them to vhs and no longer have a vcr. any suggestions for the easiest way to transfer would help.

I think its a timing situation - basically, this doesn't feel like a feature more like a loophole (one which will be gladly exploited; I don't bootleg movies, I get it that its serious, and I don't need it forced, I mean, vcr's had FF>>). I may incorrect again, but then I'm guessing I'm still doing it wrong :-/

Hi Mohammad, you can record videos in 8cm discs, not mini DVDs. Thanks_Mitch

Yes you can record directly to a DVD. Or if you wish first to HDD, edit it, and then copy to DVD.

Check your format for what you are burning in. 88 min max can be burned on a cd-r in a wav file

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.

No you shouldn't as it records them as separate mp4 files (I think it's mp4). You tell it where to store the files so you can back them up if preferred.

i have used them all of the time but sometimes the movie that you are recording is longer than two hours and it will not fit on the disc

Handbrake. Seriously, it's the only thing you'll ever need to convert DVD's - and best of all it's free. You'll have to rip the movie from the DVD first (assuming it's copyrighted).

You're original footage is perfectly safe and is only copied. The Recorder might be able to pause/play the source, but there is no way it can erase anything from the source.
