Can you copy your old video recordings to DVD with a digital recorder?

Commercial DVD's are not burned they are pressed from a master in huge numbers. That is why you cannot duplicate a commercial DVD to a DVD-R for example. You can burn from a DVR to a DVD but you won't be sble to do it digitally if there is copy protection. For example if you record a program from cable and it is copy protected, you are only able to put on digital media (Recorder or DVD) once. The next transfer will be blocked if there is copy protection in the program. About half the programs have this protection now.

Your question begs the question, "Hours of what?" The disc can hold 4.7 GB of data. What the data is, and its Format will determine the number of playback hours that it represents.

This is because the software creating the disc can use compression when writing. Likewise, you could write only audio files in MP3 format to the disc and have many hours and hours of content.

In the highest quality format, a DVD will hold only one hour of video/audio content. At a lower quality, equivalent to a VHS tape, the same DVD can hold about 9 hours of video/audio content. So, the answer to your question is, between 1 and 9 hours of video/audio content, in a decent quality.
