I recorded a program on DVD for my father. When I took it to his house to watch, it wouldn't play in his DVD player. We both have DVD players that record and I bought the DVD disc that you are able to record on. I played it back on my DVD player and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong?

T.V.'s
VCR's
DVD Player's
Stereo Equipment (Radio CD Cassette, etc)
Turn Tables
Computers
Digital Satelite
Radio

Do you have more than 2 of each of these items?..
WHy or why not?

Please make your list of what you have currently just within your home, and I should say, Ones that work, not antiques for collectibles.
Woooohh.. I almost sent this to vote by accident!! UG!

Patz- Thanks for reminding me I'm an old fart..LOL

DRE- Love the scooter idea. I may have to get one!

8 cm DVD disks are normally used by digital video cameras. Can I see the contents on a regular DVD player or computer DVD drive or even record into them from a regular DVD recorder or DVD writer?

I have dish network tv. I have my tv and the DVD Player/Recorder and satellite all hooked up. I pushed record to see if it would tape Hannah Montana for my little girl. After the show I stopped it and I finalized it. I took the cd out and put it in my computer. It shows no disc in drive. I used the Maxell DVD -R 4.7 GB and set it up for 3 hours just playing around. It won't play on my computer. I was hoping to record movies and then after I get used to it hook it up with my vcr and put all my VHS movies onto cd. I've heard reviews about cyberhome not being good, but it was new and only cost 53.00 but with no instructions. After I finalized it and it wouldn't play on computer, I put it back into the recorder and it played on it. What do I do. I am a single parent and don't want to pay a lot of money for this. I also was hoping to quickly tape some movies for my classroom off of the science channel.
I appreciate your fast response. It will playback in the recorder so I guess I will try to buy some DVD +r. Thanks.

Okay. I am truely an electronics dummy. My husband is wanting to buy me a camcorder for my birthday. We just want one for home useage, vacations, holidays and etc. Electronic Express says that with the Mini dv camcorder you can record,
take out the mini dv and put it in your dvd player and watch what you recorded. That is what I want. I dont want to download to my computer or do any editing. Just watch we recorded. So, is Electronic Express telling me the truth or is it just a confusing sales pitch? Please help. I am desperate.

Okay, so we have DVD-R recordable DVDs (120 min/4.7 GB-Sony AccuCore) They're version 1.3/1x-16x. Can I use these DVDs to record videos from the Net and then play them on a TV through a DVD player? If so, how?

Let's say you are using the Samsung DVDR135 and a typcial DVD-R disc (say Ritek)
I just ask as I am thinking about buying this drive to copy TV shows for friends, they have a regular DVD player.

Thanks

I think my favorite was asking of they could slip their old 45 RPM vinyl records in the DVD player to listen to them.

i have some video i uploaded from camera to computer, now i would like to record it onto a dvd using a dvd player because the computer isn't a dvd-r. i'm looking for cables with a red,white(audio), and yellow(visual) ends to hook into the dvd player, the other should be able to fit into the mic output on the computer.

I have a dvd player/ recorder and its pretty old and we havn't used it in a while but, i decided to use it again so I put in a dvd and it didn't work so i cleaned the laser and got most of the dust out , so that fixed it i thought. when we first got it we could record tv shows with a dvd-rw 2x 4.7gb and that worked great so i whent and bought the same disk as we used to use than when i put in a recordable dvd it said somthing like can't record on this disk please eject than it had a bunch of numbers at the bottom of the screen is there another type of disk i could use ? idk please help

I'm sure that most remember recording programs using a VCR for when they couldn't watch it on the channel. I have this Memorex Dual Player (Discontinued) and it has a composite port to plug other devices into. I want to record my Wii and upload it to my computer but I need to store it in something compatible with my computer. How could I record my television using a DVD player?

I am trying to hook up my dvd player to my dvd recorder and I can't get it to work! I already tried hooking the dvd player "out" to the recorder "in" and the recorder "out" to the tv's "in" but when I push play on the dvd player and record on the dvd player, it says "no signal". Please help! I'm getting so frustrated!

I used to use a vhs recorder and record to vhs tape.

can you use a dvd player to record directly from cabel tv? What type of dvd do I need?

I have a stereo, Comcast, DVD recorder, and TV. I want to be able to record movies on the DVD player from my TiVO, or straight from cable how do I run the cables?

its a older model of the dvd player that play disks that are the same size as an album record.
