I have some movies on dvd that I wwant to make a dvd copy..I have a dvd recorder and a dvd player

Is disc smaller and then has to be put on normal DVD or can I take directly out of camcorder and put right in my dvd player

I no longer have the manual and it doesn't work when you just hit record. (I've tried) So I would love to know how to go about it my dvd player is a general electric if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for any help.

HELP! Lol I am SO lost when it comes to this stuff. I want to take my home videos and record them onto disks to play on my DVD player. What disks do I need???
Also the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R.

Certain formats the videos need to be in?

Ok, I'm incredibly low-tech so please be kind. I just had a DVR box hooked up to a non-HD tv. I only have the most basic of cable options and just want to be able to record shows when I'm away. So far, so good. I love the box, etc. BUT, I went to play a dvd this evening and found that I can't get a picture. The remote control turns the dvd player on and off and all that but there is no picture on the screen. Before I got the DVR box, I used to have to go to an auxillary channel ("Front") for the DVD player to work. I don't have that option anymore. Do I need to unhook the old red-yellow-white cables from the back of the tv? Do I need a new set of tri-colored cables? Maybe in green and blue? Do I need to unhook the DVD player from the tv and somehow connect it to the DVR box? I am sooo lost and would really appreciate a *simple* answer. Thank you!

I have a DVD Recorder and a DVD Player and I want to connect both to my television so I can play home movies and record them at the same time onto another DVD. Can this be done? if so can a DVR be connected to the DVR recorder also? I do have S-Video and AV jacks on back of the television and DVD recorder and player as well as the DVR.

I remember reading/hearing somewhere that it was possible to record yourself playing a ps2 game with a DVD player. For example: record the gameplay of guitar hero 2 using a dvd player. Basically I want to record the playing of Guitar Hero 2 directly rather than using a video camera. Heres a video example:

Note: I don't want to use the product "Gamebridge"

My relatives in England have recorded home videos using their digital video camera. How can they burn the videos onto a DVD that I can view using the DVD player on my American computer?

The camera records in .wmv format... But that's not the file extension a DVD player recognizes, so what is?
And then, what kind of blank DVD do you burn it to, DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW? I've got ExpressBurn but nothing I've tried has gotten the DVD's to play at all (tried DVD-R and DVD+R).

I'm trying to record sound clips from movies.

I'm using my laptop and a ps3 and running the audio cables from the audio out on the tv into the mic input on my laptop using .25inch and .8inch adapter.

And i'm using windows sound recorder to record it.

But it's not working. I've done it before, a few years ago, but not sure what i'm doing different.

Should I run it through the output on a dvd player maybe?

Also using windows vista what recording settings should I have on? The input devices or the mic's or what?

This is more like something you would see out of a Science Fiction movie, but what If one day there was a device that could record your dreams while you were sleeping, would you use it? Fore say this device could record your brain activity, like how a DVD players laser reads the disc and decodes it then so you can view it on the TV. Like if this device worked somewhat the same way as a DVD player would, it scans your thoughts and records it then so the next day when you wake up you could view it. I'm only looking for opinions.

I'm able to use Nero to record my movies but they will only play in the computer not on my dvd player. Why? What am I doing wrong? Can someone walk me through the steps of how to do this correctly? I am using Verbatim DVD-R disks.
Thanks

This applies to pre-recorded, genuine, shop-bought DVDs as well as home-recorded DVDs. At the start of each chapter, there is a brief pause in the action. It is especially noticeable when there's a gap in the otherwise continuous soundtrack. I used to think it was just the odd disc, but no, it really is every one. I've looked through all the settings on the DVD player, but can't see anything obvious to change. Any ideas very welcome. Many thanks, Mick

I want to be able to view these movies on any DVD player once I have finished recording. I own the Panasonic DVD Recorder DMR-ES25.

I know how to record shows with a VCR, but cassette tapes only record for up to 2 hours and I will be away from home all day. My Dvd player is a Samsung

These are hard to find, On line, on amazon or whatever place that sells them, what is an actual DVD player that plays DVDs but records them also, (like copies them to a blank disk)

I have a DVD player that you can record TV onto DVDs with and i was wondering if this could be used to record xbox 360 gameplay? Just thought i'd ask before setting the thing up.

our dvd player is a toshiba
it's really a home theatre system with a dvd player built into it.
i've already looked in the manual for help..and i couldn't find anything.

please help!

I figured out how to record a video using iMovie HD, but when I try to burn it onto a dvd it says it will just burn a copy of the project but it wont be viewable as a movie on a dvd player. Even when I tried thar, it said my project was too big. It's about 45 minutes. How can i turn my project into something I can watch on a dvd player?

I am doing a project for school with an underwater ROV. We've wired it with a camera so that on the other end it has a RCA cable. I have a portable DVD play and all the specs are at this radio shack web site.

But were are looking for some way that we can record a live video feed from the dvd player. But i also have a RCA splitter so i can hook it to the recording device. But i am having trouble figuring out what kind of device we can use. Whether it is a camera or recording device, but it can't be anything that requires to be constantly plugged in. because we go on boats and everything so, it would be better if it was battery operated.

Thank you for your time and help

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

MOON- Are you taking donations of MORE electronics? (I'll have to keep that in mind)

sunflower- It didn't cross my mind until the electricity cut off for a bit!!

threeicys- I echo your need for quiet.. check out my pics on 360 (Dogwood Hill).. that's my escape

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

Hope4Ever- Seems like most of have that collection of video game systems going.

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.
