Can this magnavox copy from 8mm video tapes to dvr type disks?

Ita, I am sorry I can't answer your question since it has been too many years since I owned that Magnavox unit. I looked at the specifications for the unit and it looks like it should record your video tapes to the DVR disks. If you have any DVR disks you might give it a try and so what happens.

The answer is a most likely yes, IF you had an 8mm video tape player with COMPOSITE outputs. The Magnavox has COMPOSITE inputs, which should allow recording to either Standard Video Tapes or Video Discs.

This is a dual deck, VHS and dvr. There's no way I know of to load 8mm film into it. However, this device died after about a year so I would not recommend it.

this is a VHS machine. So maybe if you had the adaptor cassette from 8mm to VHS it would work

I had a Sony DVD Recorder to VHS model RDR-VX535 which would record on Verbatim DVD-R 16X or DVD-R 8X speed. I managed to transfer only 5 home movie tapes to Verbatim DVD-R 16X or 8X speeds. Then the machine wouldn't work anymore. The Sony technician told me I needed to get more 8X discs, which was not true. 16X worked fine. The quality of the machines is not dependable. I sent it back to be restored to factory condition, got it back and it had the same problem with which I started. Fortunately, Costco gave me my money back. Memorex discs didn't work. S. M. Cox So maybe try Verbatim discs. Good luck.

The Answer Is YES: Maxell 8 mm Video Cassette Taps Will Work On Any Video Equipment That Bears the "8" Mark. That Includes The Maxell GX-MP High Quality Tapes Pictured.

Yes you can, very easy. the build in Zmodo software formats any hard drive you put in the DVR. The interface is through firmware so hard drive does not store the actual software, only the recorded video.

Yes, you can record to either a DVD disc or to the built in hard drive. I have been recording to the hard drive exclusively since I don't want permanent copies. I just erase the shows after I watch them. I recommend using the HQ option when recording for best quality. If you do decide to make a permanent copy you can dub to a DVD from the hard drive. You can go to the Magnavox web site and download the free users manual. That will answer all your questions.

Yes. It can record to DVD-R, +R, -RW or +RW (even though the manual doesn't mention +R or +RW). You can format DVDs prior to use in either Video mode for playing normally in other players or in VR mode for special editing/playing purposes.

Yes... according to the manual. I don't remember trying it myself. They call it bi-directional dubbing. VCR to DVD or DVD to VCR.

Yes, Alan, I think so. I have the MDR533H HDD & DVR. Page 56 of the Owner's Manual is titled "Dubbing" and the first subheading is "Connecting to an External Device Using a DV cable" Contact Magnavox at 1-800-605-8610 or visit online help at www.magnavox.com/support...Good luck! -Tom B.

I you have something to play the hi8 tapes with then yes, if not then no. The DMR is just a DVD recorder that takes component input, it has no built-in devices for other media.

No, This Tape is for the Mini DV recorders, NOT the Hi 8 tape type. There are the Hi 8 type still available i believe>

Yes, if your DVR has RCA audio/video inputs on it. This item comes with an adapter, that plugs into the extension cable from the camera, that has two RCA type plugs on it (one video, one audio) And these plug into the RCA input jacks on any VCR, DVD recorder, or a DVR. Mind is plugged into a DVD recorder's input A/V jacks and works great that way. BTW: It's output is composite video which might cause a problem if the video inputs aren't that type too

John:It will depend on what outputs your particular cable box provides and the services you subscribe to.Suggest you get the model number off your cable box and post this same question (including the box model number) in the following forum which is devoted to the Magnavox HDD/DVD recorders:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940657&page;=508

Yes. Like a previous answer, may sure the disc is finalized. It will play on the Magnavox, but not on other players. Menus are confusing if you want to put a label with the recording. Finalize menu for some reason is in the VCR portion of the setup.

Yes you can, with a little work. Go to AVSforum and search the DVR+ thread for their testing of a program called "ffmpeg" which converts the original file to a useable format.

I have been able to convert my mini dv tapes with this camrecorder device. It is just for Sony though--only a Sony machine will work. Very simple to use.

This adapter only works with C type tapes . It will not work with 8mm reel type .
