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.

You didn't say what type of computer software you run.  I have Media XP and the computer can store up to a certain number of movies, record them from the television, etc.  If you have RealPlayer or even Windows Media Player I believe you can save DVDs to those.  Just be sure you have a good deal of memory both in ROM and RAM.  Otherwise, you're going to be disappointed when only a portion of the movie records and the recording is scratchy and bad quality video.\n\nHappy Memorial Day!

DVR is a digital video recorder, so that won't do.\nmpeg to mpg4, use either Pinnacle's Studio 9 or Ulead.

Setup a network, permanent or temporaryWith both desktop and laptop. Then locate where the Tv programs(dvr-ms files) are located.Mines are in a folder called Recorded something. Then just transfer them from your source(desktop) to the folder in your laptop where mediacenter reads the dvr-ms files. And you should be able to access them from the Recorded option in Ms Media center.

If your desire is to convert the AVI files to a DVD-related file structure for the purpose of playback on a conventional DVD standalone player, do the following:\n\n1. Convert the AVI/mpeg file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file(s) using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) form the "Project Wizard" to help you accomplish the task.\n\n2. Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to author the newly created mpeg-2 into a DVD-related file structure (.IFO, .BUP, .VOB). As an alternative, you can use "DVDLab" to author as well.\n\n3. If the combined filesize of the project exceeds 4.37 Gig, use "DVD Shrink" or similar transcoding program to compress.\n\n4. Use "Nero" or similar burning program to burn onto a DVD (r, rw) disk.

I have used IsoBuster to extract the content of a .bin CD or VCD image to mpeg2, but I haven't converted it to MP4 from there.

Its very easy, First u just down load any converter (like easyDVD,DVd creator, MPEG to DVD Converter anything like that) which can conver the .dat or mpg or avi files in to DVD format ie VOB. \ni prefer MPEG to DVD Converter. you can down load it from  http://www.xilisoft.com/mpeg-to-dvd-converter.htm \n\nenjoy it

Get a video capture box for a VCR to PC connection.  This will work well with the DVR as well.  I'm not sure if that USB port can stream content from your DVR but the capture box will do the trick very nicely.
