Can I record FROM my SD card? I see that this thing has an SD card "recorder", but can it read off an SD card and write to DVD?

I had also hoped it would be able to do this, but according to the manual, the sd slot is for still jpegs only (p. 75: "you can play and copy still pictures taken on a digital camera"). pfft! I suppose its better than nothing, but you can do the same with your computer and a cheap card reader-writer (under $15.00).

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

No....this unit does NOT record, you have to simply purchase and run this device through a DVD/VCR Recorder...and connect the VCR/DVD unit to a monitor. That is what works for me... its low tech but it gets the job done and gets you results!

Is there any way to record directly to the card and bypass the internal memory?? thanks

Depends on SD card capacity since unit only records on SD cards. Does not have hard drive for recording. The more capacity of the SD Card used, the more hours can be recorded. See sandisk.com web site for SD Cards. I have had good luck recording with their SD Cards. Any other questions, let me know.

Yes, you can. This unit only records when there is a DVD in the drive bay-I originally thought there was a hard drive to buffer the recording; there is not. Great unit, have using ours for a couple of years.

This was purchased by me for my mom so she was the primary user. I was under the impression that you could record VHS over to a DVD. From the product description directly:*One-touch/programmable recording and playback of DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW formats and VHS cassette; dubbing from DVD to tape and vice versa. So, you can do both. Tape to DVD and DVD to tape.

This model does NOT allow recording to discs because the DVD player on this model is not a recorder; but, the VCR should record to VHS tapes. I have used off-brand VCR/DVR combinations, although each has stopped working almost immediately (probably because many of the inside parts come from the same few factories). Maybe not what you were hoping to read, but it'll cut down on frustration from trying something this machine cannot do. You will also have problems recording from discs to tapes since "store-bought" discs have copy protection. If you are looking to purchase a disc recorder, be sure to note which types of discs they can use for recording. Some discs can be recorded to several times (like a cassette tape). Others are like vinyl records and may only be recorded to one time. Plus (+) and minus (-) signs determine future playability, too. Talk with a salesperson at an electronics shop (like H. H. Gregg) or the electronics section of a department store (such as Sears). I like discounts, but often a trained salesperson is worth buying from so you don't end up with less (or more) than you'd bargained for--at least until you really understand the differences between models.

This item does not have a built in recorder, it has an RCA video out connector to hook up to a separate miniDVR which those in most cases will record to an SD card.

I used mine to record a recorded movie to another DVDR. I had trouble going to the beginning since it does have a resume play. I even took the disk out and shut off my player. the disk I was playing kept starting over

Not sure - I have not tried recording anything yet, but I believe the site specified that it recorded directly to digital file. You could then transfer (burn) to a cd.Good luck!

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.

I think you mean dvd- or dvd+ discs. Yes it will record on both. With the DVD+ you can erase and record over if you want.

No, you can record to a thumb drive through the USB port, then record to CD using a computer. I have not tried this yet.

My GUESS would be to record/transfer to DVD or other device. I have never used mine. Owner's manual says "for future use"? meaning what I have NO idea-take off cover & see if connected to anything-or hook to something that records and see what happens while it's playing.
