Will this copy my DVD's into the recorder, so I can get rid of the DVD's and just watch them from the recorder?

I don't think so ... the commands indicate that a disc is required in the drive before recording can begin. You should probably investigate TiVo.

No, it will not. This machine records to discs only. It does not have an internal hard drive with memory.
1432061
probanbly not. dvd's have a coding making them impossible or very difficult to copy. a special software is needed.

Nope...this is not a DVR, just a device to record or play one disc at a time. You can record a disc off your tv if it has enough input/output ports for hook up or through a prologic receiver which I am doing right now so I can keep to my permanent movie collection. This will take a RW or R disc. All the audio/video electrical devices feed in and out of my yamaha prologic receiver so I can record using different types of equipment by changing inputs.

No...this is not a "hard drive" DVD recorder...it records onto & plays discs (DVD, DivX, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW are the formats it either records or reads).

No it does not have the feature, or function to copy existing DVDs. You can read, write or erase, but not copy.

All I know is you can record your movie to your DVD recorder if your have an output jack in your TV that you can plug-in to the input jack of your DVD recorder. There is also another way, if you have a device that produces your movie, instead of plugging the OUTPUT cable to your TV INPUT jack, plug it in to your DVD recorders INPUT jack and then from the OUTPUT jack of your DVD recorder connect it to the INPUT jack of your TV. Hope this will help.

Sorry, I never tried that. I used it for copying VHS that I recorded myself to DVDs. But I was VERY disappointed that it would not record from my DVR, refusing to "make more than the limit of 1 copy". The VHS is broken now, will play but not record. So I only use it to play DVD's.

IT WILL PROVIDED THE ORIGINAL IS NOT PROTECTED WITH ANY FORM OF A "COPYGUARD" - It must also fit on a standard DVD blank time wise or you will need to buy special "double layered" DVD blanks that will provide extra time. Copies are virtually undetectable from the originals and are done at high speed. I love my unit.

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

Not sure! I recall the book stated if it would not record on some dvds they tell you how to reformat.
1372693
Absolutely! Not that I'm encouraging illegal activity, but, if you have a DVD decrypter, you can save a copyrighted DVD to disc (via the decrypter) and import it into VS using the import wizard (just remember to look for the saved/decrypted folder, not a disc in a drive).

If you have a computer with a DVD burner, you can re-format with it and free up your DVD recorder.

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.

No. There is no DVD recorder built in. You would need to copy the video file to a flash drive.

I don't know...I used in my desktop computer to copy pre-recorded DVDs .....that came out perfect for my purposes....

Yes, using AV cables to a dvd recorder. Play program on dvr while recording on dvd recorder. Simple.

If the out from the box goes into the DVD/VCR you'd be able to record anything that is an input to the box.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

I don't think so, this device suppose to enable connecting new HDMI devices into old composite connection and translate sound and image accordingly. To write record or burn DVDs using a PC would require a software like Nero Toast etc. These softwares prepare media prior to fit a dvd before it does it. I assume you could record onto your PC by this would require a recording or a grabbing software. Unless someone has more enlightened answer that's the best of my knowledge.

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?
