NO Not unless you have a recorder. The laser in a recorder burns the data onto the surface of the DVD. If you wish to transfer a video file from your Digital Video Recorder to a Disc, you must have a burner to do so. You may, however be able to transfer the data from your DVR to your computer using a cable. But not knowing your model, I cannot advise for sure.
One possibility: if the signal is a digital broadcast and you have a digital-capable TV but the DVR has an analog tuner, the DVR would not see a recognizable signal, but the digital signal would pass through to the TV.
Try using the composite (analog) outputs from your cable box instead of the digital outputs.
This depends on the particular model. Some DVRs have DVD players built in, and some do not. By itself, a standalone DVR (Digital Video Recorder) without a DVD drive built in cannot play a DVD.
