I have a bunch of dvds I converted from my camcorder. Can I load them onto the hard drive to store, then watch from the hard drive&gt;

After checking the instruction book, I don't think it's possible but I'm no expert. There's no DVD player or recorder on this.I also have a Magnavox HDD & DVD Recorder with digital tuner. That one would be able to record to the HDD.

I have a Blue Ray DVD player in my new Computers and I can watch these on mine. You have to be sure and finalize them first though after recording on them. Hope this helps

You can as long as your DVD has a record function. There shouldn't be any other reason not to be able to (other than read disc errors).

I have 8 3TB WD-Red Sata drives in my QNAP NAS and store 500+ movies as VOB files and also converted to MP4...I have roughly 18 TB of space and it is around half full. The VOB files play on computers with PowerDVD, while I can use DNLA to watch the MP4's which I send to my PS3 and HDMI to my TV. Yes, you can do it, it's how you do it that counts. My smart TV's don't play MP4's or VOB's by themselves. Media Player will also stream video, but I don't use it.

No, you have to load data onto the hard drive, then watch from there. No streaming available.

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.

You can, as long as you are using rewritable DVDs - those are the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I use DVD+RW for TV programs and it works great - the other thing I like is that DVD+RW is the only disc format that will play in other units without needing to be finalized. When you load the recorded DVD+RW into another player it will start playing from the beginning and you can just skip ahead to the desired point.When you are ready to reuse the disc, just load it into the recorder and you can either reformat it or delete the titles to free up space (I just delete the titles on mine). Then you're all set to record again on that same disc.Good luck - hope this helps! You can, as long as you are using rewritable DVDs - those are the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs.

I just put files on my hard drive and use nero to make the dvd's they play much better than my dv recorder, and if I want to save and wait to get a blueray recorder I could always burn in hd, but they are a bit expensive the price will come down

sure, it has a cpl of line in's L1 L2...all u need is one of them from line out on vcr ....then you can edit them and burn them to dvd.

No. You will first have to transfer them over to DVD. Once you have transferred over to DVD, you can make as many copies as you want.

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.

Yes. A blank DVD must be loaded in the machine (there is no buffer / harddrive for storage). Program as you would a regular video recorder. Or press record to start recording immediately.

Yes, but You need a computer to store the videos captured by the camera into your computer's hard drive.

You can import the info into your computer but it requires a special program. It also loses quality because DVDs are compressed data. My recommendation is to burn to DVD with chaptering for general viewing but save your tapes to mini DV or a dedicated hard drive for future editing.

Yes, you can. Process may not be simple though. Look here: http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Convert_Your_HD_DVDs_to_Blu-Ray http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=155834

No, but you can do what I do, use the anydvd program to extract the movie from the DVD then convert it to mp4 and put it on a usb hard disk and play it on the player.
