What programming did you record to the DVR that you wanted to put on disc?Some channels, including premium channels like HBO put an interval signal in their content that prevents recording. It makes devices such as the Sony DVDirect think there is no active input signal and thus it will not record. I found it impossible to make discs of VOD content as well due to this feature. Most recently I was unable to burn the HBO miniseries THE PACIFIC to DVD because of this feature.

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.

What softward did you use? I am wondering if it will work with an apple, using IMOVIE?

I have made recordings with those wonderful Sony DVDirect (various models) of many live performances and duplicated the DVD afterward with duplicator (faster than via computer) for those who are interested. The footage can be captured and edited in the computer by Adobe Primier Element and Sony Vegas Movie Studio. I am not sure the footage can just be copied as a file into computer and expected it is editable.

What is the difference between the VRDMC10 and VRDMC5? I have the older model and have no problems

Were you able to copy the DVD from the VRDMC5 model? You mentioned using a "duplicator" -- can you specify what that is?

Yes, the best results will be if you have a compatible Sony camcorder as you will be able to do many copy features via automation. Inputs available - DV (firewire), S-Video, composite video and stereo audio. NO HDMI input. If the camcorder is non-Sony you can still select your inputs from the menu but the camcorder will not automatically drive the DVD Recorder VRDMC5. See ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9BHCUnmTQ

I never tried. I am pretty sure that it will though. It duplicates any DVD. Any size it doesn't matter. All it does is duplicates whatever you put in the top slot. It is a fantastic machine. I use to make my DVD's and burn them for a church among other organizations. It won't duplicate a copyrighted dvd though.

Thanks Vito, I have one more question mayby you can answer...The specs on this one say..."Store your music, videos, photos and documents with plenty of space to spare SuperMulti 8X DVD+ with Double Layer Support Play and create CDs and DVDs with this DVD/CD burner drive"...I would like to know if this computer is capable of RE- writing DVDs, or can it only burn them once??? or is this function merely dependant on the type of disk used for any computer??? I am so tecno-challenged!!! Can you tell???Thanksjz

Apparently you cannot create multiple disc on this Sony Express DVD writer. You can only create one disc at a time. -Ely

are you sure? my model is old and i can't edit and finalize afterwards and use in another dvd player. The finalize process is the real important thing to play in other players, but just with RAM discs because it won't let me edit using DVD-RW discs.

vinpower digital make dvd duplication equipment, you will find them using a search engine. I use the 5280S which seems to be a model designed for duplicators. I find it to be very stable in PC based systems having several burners. The drives are good. On one of the 5280S drives I have, it says "Philips & Lite-on Digital Solutions Corporation". It also says OPTIARC AD-5280S. Optiarc is a sony brand. I do no know the relationship of names. I remeber seeing Sony on some of my others but I dont have one of those in front of me. Hope this helps!

Steve - I have no idea. BUT I can tell you a bunch of things I have recorded on Verbatim disks will not play on my Sony television. Makes no sense to me, as my DVD player is NOT a sony, buy that's one of my issues. Good luck. Hope someone else can address your specific issue. Patti

Yes, you should be able to edit already burned DVD from this software since it does MPEG editing. You should be able to open up TS_Folder(?) and do edit it. Hmmmm... you should download the trial version from the company's website before the purchase. Just to be sure! Good luck!

I have the 5 disk burner (M-disk) and does not connect to a computer, either to copy or to input to the computer. The top drawer on mine is a read only and the other 5 are copy only. it will copy on M-disk and regular CD/DVD although I have not tested it to see if it will copy both regular and M-disk DVDs in the same run.

I just read that the .MOD extension of the JVC can be changed to .MPG for recognition by Windows Media Player and should work with other software since it is a standard format. (You can do this by copying the file onto your PC, right clicking and renaming. With this extension you should be able to burn to a DVD. I am interested in purchasing this camcorder but will NOT do so if I have to purchase extra software. If someone tries this, please let me know if you are successful. JVC appears to receive much better reviews than Sony other than the burning issues. The article I read can be found at http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-12-06-camcorder-hard-drives_x.htm.

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd. If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator. Thanks Copystars support team

I am not 100% sure about your question, Robert. However, anything that is on the master you are duplicating gets copied exactly the same. The DVDs I copied were identical to the master. This is one fabulous product. It has saved me hundreds of hours. Well worth the price in terms of time saved. If you have any other questions send them along.
