How does the recording on the DVD work? Can you stop your taping then restart on one DVD?

You can start and stop on the same dvd, but they're stored as separate files.

I have a dvr through directv. I'm thinking about getting this toshiba dvd recorder. Let me make sure I understand... If I have a show recorded on my dvr, I can then record it to a dvd in my dvd recorder? But while the dvr'ed show is being recorded to dvd, I cannot watch a different show? Is this correct?? Thank you anyone for your help. I have some shows that have been on my dvr for a long time now that I occasionally like to rewatch and would much rather have them on dvd so hopefully this toshiba dvd recorder is what I need.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

No. The first time you press the record button it starts recording. Press it again and it stops. When you press it again it starts a new file. When you play them back in the camera they will be strung together but when they are loaded into your computer they will be separate files and you will have to use software to make one continuous video.

Easy, pretty much press a button to record and press a button to play. If you press stop, then it will start a new recording session the next time you press record.

no...once you stop the video, that video is over. You will start a new video when you begin to record again. Also, don't talk while taking the video, unless you want YOUR voice to be heard.

Thank you.Basically, the problem I got is the pause between the clips when I write them to a DVD. So, I joined them (and the pause problom is solved) and tried to fit it to a 4.7 GB (which apparently holds 4.38GB data). And if the total size is less than 4.38GB, I could write the DVD. Else, I had to separate the single cip (which I joined before) and remove some of the clips and see how many are getting fit in 4.38GB. I think I could write it. Of course, I have to write a second DVD for rest of the clips. Thank you

When you hit record the first time, it goes into flashing pause mode. Then you hit record again and it records. After that it stays recording until you hit stop. That's not a defective, that just shows you certain settings on the screen before you hit record the second time. Mine has been working great.

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.

If referring to DVD -R; DVD+R, I do know that it does record on +R, haven't tried -R. I did all my recording on +RW

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards

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.

That's interesting. I ALWAYS go to DVD before dubbing (I double-check my dubbing speed while there). I'll have to try it your way once and see what happens. Thanks for posting.

I have used it to record TV, but after 2 of the same unit, 3 years old and it will stop recording. no matter what DVD's you use.

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean " initialize" I tried this:Book says to put "recording"side down. I get an error message, so I flip it over. I insert my memory card in recorder, put dvd-r disk in, recorder starts recording. the little window says 1 of 3 dvds. But when the 1st dvd is finished it pops out w/o being finalized.

Darlene: You've probably already figured it out by now, but I'm going to post this reply for anyone else who may be having the same problem. While in DVD mode (the green light above "DVD" is lit up, push the "Rec Mode" button on your remote control. It is the button just to the left of the red "Record" button. Each time you press that a new record speed will appear on your screen. It cycles through each one and then goes back to the beginning and will even tell you how many minutes you have left on that disc to record with at that speed.

This you use to digitize the video and you can use a DVD burning software to record multiple movies to one DVD. I think digitizing it is more helpful then put it directly to DVD. I never used the feature of putting it directly on DVD yet because I wanted to pick and chose what I wanted. Also if you want more than one movie on a DVD get larger capacity DVDs.
