2long Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I need to buy a DVD recorder and will want to edit the file I record. Is there a particular feature I need to have or to avoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1950 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry, but your OP is not very clear. The term "DVD recorder" refers to a many kinds of devices. Are you talking about a camcorder? Is the file a data file or audio/video file? Are you wanting to author a DVD movie? Do you mean digital video recorder (DVR)? This type of DVD recorder records to a hard drive and has DVD authoring software with limited features. Once you write to a DVD, it cannot be changed. DVD-RWs can be erased and be re-recorded. Please explain some more as what you want to try to do. Edited February 1, 2011 by BB1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 To record tv programmes off of one of the few things worse tha UBC?True... Thai tv. I have my reasons, please don't mock. This is not about computers, but if I can then put the file onto my pc to edit I'd be very heppy. To clarify, a dvd recorder that plugs into the tv, to record tv.

You really don't want a DVD recorder. As mentioned above, it is not as reliable as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) recorder, PVR (Personal Video Recorder), or DVR (Digital Video Recorder). All of these names are referring to a device that connects to a TV to record the program to a Hard Disk Drive. A DVD recorder has a very limited amount of recording time and not as many features. Read this article for more information about DVRs: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/dvr.htm As the OP mentioned this thread is not about computers, it should be move to the Home Theater Forum for better responses.

astral Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have a Dreambox 7020S as my satellite receiver. It has an internal hard disk and is networked (LAN) to my PC in the house. A simple interface allows me to transfer files from the DB to the PC and VideoRedo allow me quick and simple editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
