yes, if you have an analog output from the DVD player. The audio component will be at standard line levels and with the right connectors, can be routed to an audio recorder. You will need to check the manuals of each bit of equipment to get the right connecting leads.
Yes. Just conect the VCR outputs (usually red and white for audio, yellow for video) to the DVR inputs. Set the DVR to record from that input, and press Play on the VCR.
Yes.
How do I record a series on my Charter Motorola DVR
It should be possible to do what you want to do. Look on the rear of the DVR and see if it has RCA type connectors labeled, "out". There should be a red, white and yellow connector. The red is the right audio connector, the white is for the left audio channel and the yellow is for the compisite video out. Composite video means that all the signals necessary for something like a VCR to record from and all you need is the appropriate patch cord setup. It's "out" FROM the DVR to "IN" to your VCR. Just match the colors. Put a tape in the VCR, locate the spot on the DVR you want to transfer, then hit the RECORD button on the VCR first, THEN the play button on the DVR. Record your video and then stop the VCR's recording. Play back the VCR's recording to make sure you have the video and viola, you're done.
The generic answer is No, and the reason for this answer is that I surf tech stores monthly for the latest gadgets, in search of gizmos that will record HD content (content in 720p/1080i video and 5.1 surround audio). None of the stuff that I have seen as of Q2/2007 can do this. The exception is the HD6000, and that requires a "cable card" from my CableTV provider, which costs waywayway too much. I am assuming that you want to record 5.1 audio to your dvr for programs you watch. If your DVR has a digital audio input, then you can *possibly* circumvent the receiver while recording, and channel the (digital audio out) on the source to the (digital audio in) on the DVR. However, input is input, and output is output. The only DIY cheat is to us a standard RCA splitter for DigiCoax connections (?huh?) Known Exceptions: Digital Audio Connections has 4 main types: Optical (using red LED), Coaxial (high grade coax with RCA connector), 6 channel (independant set of wires for each channel between devices), and Over HDMI cable (cannot separate audio/video).<<<It's impossible to convert any of these mediums to another via a cable. ALSO: If you are recording HD OTA via the coaxial input (using an ATSC Tuner), then your DVR will record the HD audio and HD video. RULE OF THUMB: Unless your DVR has a Digital Audio Input, it will not be able to record HD audio with your recorded shows.
Yes it could be done just like recording from TV try it and if it doesn't work leave feed back.
You cannot move a file inside the DVR unit to a computer. But you can record output from the DVR onto computer's hard drive. Buy a USB or PCI 'video capture' device for your computer so that you can connect DVR's analog output (S-video, composite or component for video and RCA or red and white audio) to the video capture device. While a movie is played on the DVR, the computer will record it through the video capture device.

Simply plug your camera feed directly into the input of the DVR system. These will be either RCA or BNC inputs. If your camera feed is a different format from the DVR's input, simply use an RCA-to-BNC adapter or a BNC-to-RCA adapter.
