I would like to be able to copy recorded programs from my pvr to my computer then burn them to dvd. How do you set it up to do so? I would like to know if there is a certain cord one needs. I have an s-video cable but I'm not sure how to set it up.

Depends on the dvr.  Some allow you to use a cable (usually USB) while others require you to remove the hard-drive (or at least attach a IDE/SATA-to-USB converter).  Try the yahoo group "dishrip" for more info.

There are many programs which will do this for you.\nThe one I use is VSO software's convert x to dvd\n\nIt converts almost all source files to dvd - it will even burn the dvd after the conversion process if you let it.\nReal simple operation, and pretty cheap to boot.\nI have no association with VSO, or any related company - it's just great software in my opinion.

You need to have a video card that has an exit for TV set. I think one of GeForces does that. You just have to plug the cordes, and have your TV set show the image, then use your VHS to record the image as if you would record a TV show on a Sat night :)\n\nYou can also find a digital camera, plug to your computer, record the data, have the camer plugged to your TV, and then do the regular casette recording..

First of all you would need a DVD+R and a DVD Burner (you can buy both of these at Best Buy or any other Computer electronics store) when you download a movie or anything it usually makes a file for that movie you would have to go through My Computer and find that file then drag it into the DVD drive and click burn.(If you buy a DVD Burner or all ready have one it would have probably come with a program that you can use to burn it.)

You'll need a video capture card that simply plugs into a PCI slot, and tehn you just plug the camera in. \n\nWindows XP comes with it's own movie making software, but assuming you have  DVD drive, chances are you'll already haveing the POwerDVD suite of software, which will allow you to create movies and burn them to DVD.\n\nThere is a vast array of video capture cards on the market - make sure that the one you get has the appropriate connections for teh cam - typically the red, yellow & white AV sockets.

Well, if your laptop has an interchangable drive, get a regular laptop DVD burner, and you're set. Also, you need DVD burning and copying programs, like Roxio. But if you cannot change your drive, get a USB one or something. They basically work just as well, it's just more ugly and bulky. Good luck!

You would "download" from a website, and "upload" from a DVD. if you have a DVD that you want to copy to your pc go get yourself a ripper www.dvdidle.com or dvdtox.com or just google it. Remember that you may be asking for help doing something that is illegal.

You can try running your DVD player's or computer's video out socket through a Video in socket on your VCR, then playing your DVD and recording it with your VCR. I haven't tried this before but it sounds logical.

First you'll need either a Hi-8 player or camcorder. Your camera should have the ability to play back the video that you've shot with it. The Sony should have 3 RCA ports on the camcorder. Go to Aldi's and get the "DVD Maker" for $40 USD. Go to radio shack and get a set of 3 color coded RCA video patch cords. The DVD Maker is made by K-World. It is a USB video capture device. It uses the USB and the audio in jacks on your computer. Attach  the USB and audio in jacks to the computer, and the other end of the device attaches to the color coded patch cords and then to the camcorders color coded ports (red,yellow,and white). Load up the included software. You then can "capture" the video from your camcorder to the hard drive of your computer for editing. If you don't want to take up hard drive space, you can burn directly to a DVD from your camcorder and edit the film at a later date. Remember, 1 hour of video takes up 1GB of hard drive space.

If it is on a DVD, the recording is already digital.  Getting content off of a CD or DVD is called "ripping" and yes, it is possible, but what tools you will need to use will depend upon whether and how the DVD is copyright-protected.\n\nThere are lots of free, open-source, tools for DVD ripping that can be found at sourceforge.net (see link below), but they are mostly for the Linux OS and, as far as I can tell, not specifically meant for ripping copyright-protected DVDs.  I could be wrong, however, so feel free to browse through the list (just search for "DVD ripper").\n\nIf you do a Google search for the same subject, there is no shortage of proprietary non-free software tools for DVD ripping, including ones that claim to be able to bypass any copyright protection scheme.\n\nI hope that this helps!

To record video files into a DVD you must first author the DVD.  You may use Nero Express or Roxio software, but the choices are not limited to those two.  Roxio will transcode the file automatically for you to fit into a DVD, base on your setting selection.  Follow the tutorial provided by Roxio to see if you can figure it out on your own.  It is a lengthy process.  You may also visit www.videohelp.com.  They have many good tutorial for your types of questions.\n\nTo convert between PAL and NTSC is very difficult but not impossible.  I have used TMPGEnc 2.5 and it has worked.  To use TMPGEnc is very easy.  The differences between PAL and NTSC are basically frame rate and resolution.  Again, go to the above website for help.  There are too much to learn before you can do what you want.  It is not possible to tell you everything here.  By the way, if you want to watch the file on your PC only, you don't need to convert the file.  Media Player with the right codec will play both types of files.

http://www.dvdshrink.org/\n\nDVD Shrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.\n\nDVD Shrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero or if you download CopytoDVD. You can also download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.\n\nDVD Shrink is free software. You should never pay for DVD Shrink.
