Can you burn a streaming video onto a DVD that' can be used on a typical DVD Player? If so, does the vid quality degrade?

I use Audials MovieBox 10 to record from DVDs and streaming video and then store on my hard drive to watch on my PLEX server. I can say that the videos I have recorded, from what ever source (streaming video or DVDs), had no noticeable video degradation.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I don't think you would want to do that. I think the quality from TV to a Disc would be very good. If you want to copy or (BURN) from a Disc to a Disc would be the way I would want to go. I'm no expert but I (BURN) from Disc to Disc.

It should, although I haven't tried it. Most people want to go the other way around... Record on the hard drive (temporary) and archive onto DVD (temporary to semi-permanent to permanent, depending on the type of DVD disk.) May I ask why you would want to put something from a playable archived format onto a temporary unit?

I have only played regular movies successfully ..it would not play DVDs which I converted from tape to DVD.. Vod or mpg format

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

The DVD could be burned as a data disc. It would not be playable on a DVD console player unless it can read and play back native JPG or AVI files.

I think your asking if it plays burned or homemade DVDs, like most players it will depend on how fast or slow the DVD was burned. I have not had an issue there but I burn SLOW. I'm very happy with this unit. Price and its online features make it the best bang for buck. Don't even pay for cable tv anymore. It's that good. Well made DVDs won't be a problem..I hope that helps

When burning avi/divx files on a CD or DVD, just make sure that the disc is properly 'closed' and it is fit for use on a DVD player. It works fine then, otherwise u may face problems with a multi-session disk on this or other DVD players.If you are playing a file stored on a USB flash drive or hard disk, it should play anyway.

Hi, this is my second pair and I have not encountered any problem with DVD, however have not used streaming modes.

No it cannot. It is not a dvd player. You can only play media files from an USB external hard drive or internal sata hard.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

Leo, Yes it will make your DVD, under one condition !! The downloaded Youtube videos has to be 1080p resolution, 720p you are in the extreme margin to have a relatively good film without any interruptions... Lower than 720p, FORGET IT !! Take it from me, I've tried.... ( 480p - Very irregular and halts alot.. / 720p - More or less good DVD video, last 1080p Resolution EXCELLENT for DVD videos... WARNING ! 1080p files are large, don't be surprised when you see sizes of ( 1 or 2 GB )...... I hope this helps........ !

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

You can if your DVD has composite video output or HDMI output. Most DVD's are not 1080p, though.

Well, you'd need a very expensive blu-ray burner on your computer if this is what you wanted to do and the results would not be an improvement over the dvd quality. Instead, this player allows you to play your regular dvds and it will up-convert the signal to a more HD-looking quality. Regardless of what medium you transfer your dvd movie to, it will still be standard definition.

The only thing I use mine for is to play regular DVD's. It is supposed to play blu-ray, however mine will not play them. The streaming function is pretty bad too. I would not recommend this player.
