Can dvd's be re-recorded on?

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!

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.

There is no reason why a DVD you make with this unit cannot be copied. A finalized DVD does not invoke copy protection, it simply makes it so that nothing else can be put onto the DVD and allows it to play on a most all DVD players. You can also, of course, make several copies by recording the 8mm footage over and over, but that's a bit tedious.

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

The disk has to be finalized after you finish recording on it. Then it can be played on other DVD players. The recorder will prompt you to finalize the disk, which can be done in 3 simple steps and takes a few minutes.

You can record and re-record MiniDV tapes, but each time you record, the quality decreases. Professionals (and semi-professionals) never re-record because of this, but it is certainly possible.

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.

Yes. But make sure the video output connector of your camera is the old standard type Rca. For long recording purposes I would suggest to use systems based on hard disks or solid state (flash) memory and then copy to Dvd only what you want

I believe that you can record on either the VCR or the DVD, but having said this please note that I returned this device because it did not work as expected.

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.

that's a little confusing but I think what you're saying is dvd output to DVD recorder I believe it will work but copyright stuff probably won't copy

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR.RP

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?

If it's seeking a disk, switch to HDD (hard drive disk) rather than DVD and see what happens. If you want to use a re-recordable DVD it must be a DVD+RW, not a DVD-RW.

I have had many DVD recorders and players and have never had a problem playing them back on a different machine. If Finalizing is an option under Disk Management, then you do need to finalize before removing it from the recording device.

To burn on to dvd's, all you do is record the session. Once recorded, save it to the dvd as the location of the file. DVD-R is non-erasable so what ever you record, it will be the only thing on the disk. To put more sessions, check google.com to see what is required on your system. The DVD-RW is erasable so you can delete sessions and record again.

Standard Def only. I don't believe an HDTV DVD recorder exists, at the consumer level anyway. That would be too nice, but probably way too expensive too!
