Digital Video Recorders

Sony has a wide range of camcorders, some digital some not. If you are looking for digital there are such ones as the HDR-TD10 or the HDR-P150V. If you are looking for analog then there is the CCD-TRV67 Hi-8 analog camcorder.

In my opinion for the general application, the 4-head S-Video VCR will be slightly better, although most video is transmitted either through RGB (via SCART) or as composite via RF (antenna cable).

In general, S-Video eliminates some of the aches Compositve video suffers from - the way composite is encoded onto a single wire pair leaves artifacts (visual errors). S-Video somewhat alleviates that by keeping the color and brightness information separate. However, it does not necessarily improve picture quality to/from the VCR. The quality of the picture is dependent most heavily on the quality of video recorded on the tape, or presented in the video stream to be recorded. Also, tape quality affects stored video quality in general.

Also, since most VCRs connect using a SCART cable, the point of this question is moot - the VCR will send/receive its signals using the RGB standard.

If it does, however, come down to choosing between Composite and S-Video when it comes to recording video off of the TV, S-Video is a better option. S-Video provides better overall picture quality. Also, if I remember correctly, the tape has a standard speed regardless of the number of heads, so the only improvements to be gained from having more than two would be chiefly in the area of wear-and-tear of the head mount/spindle, and/or the strength of the signal. Also, I once had a two-head VCR which provided superb quality (at the cost of some image altering during playback).

It really comes down to how you intend to use it. If your pleasure is mostly watching rented movies, a 6-head is the way to go (VCR->TV will go through RGB anyway). If, on the other hand, you record a lot from your TV, I'd choose S-Video (TV->VCR will then have better quality overall).

The extra heads are for the special effects in playback such as slow motion, they play no part in the recording process.

No. The cameras only send an image to the DVR, they don't record on their own.

Video tape was used in the 60's for commercial recording in TV studios, using reel to reel tape.

It did not make it to the home market until the mid to late 70's, when the technology got cheaper and the tape was incorporated inside a cassette.

There were several attemps at tape cassettes, until the final show down of VHS verses Betamax.

Betamax was technically superior, but VHS was marketed better and had a wider choice of pre-recorded programs.

Simply, the signal is still not strong enough.

Check you cable connections and make sure the cable is intact and suitable for use. Check the plugs do not have stray braid, shorting them out.

If all is perfect, then you just live in a weak signal area. Get a bigger aerial or put it higher up.

unfortunately no, that is how they rope you in. My charger was stolen and the only replacement I can find is $60 not including shipping. Rip off if you ask me.

Different states and different countries all have specific rules and restrictions regarding the recording or monitoring of people. This answer cannot be considered to be accurate in your jurisdiction.

Generally it is legal to make audio or video recordings of people, with or without their consent. This will normally be the case as long as it is done from outside their property and without harassing or impeding people. The same is normally the case whether or not the other party is aware of the taping. Be aware that harassment is interpreted very differently in different jurisdictions.

The use to which the material can be put is normally more restricted. It is normal to require permission from the subjects before it can be published. Restrictions apply to the use in criminal or civil legal proceedings as well.

I had the same problem and played around with the file. I found that FOV is not an eztension and I renamed the downladed file with an AVI extension and voila

Check to make sure that all the correct plugs are in and that they are in the right ports. If they are, your VCR might either be broken or your TV is not set to the right channel.

If your VCR is broken you have to get a new one but..

If your TV is not on the right channel, on newer TV's there are TV/VIDEO buttons, press it and it should switch to the VIDEO input. On Older TV's the VCR is usually set to and unused channel, this will vary by manufacturer and you just have to flip through.

Hope this Helps

first you click the button on the side so that the usb (the silver thing) comes out then you put that into your computers tower (or you use the wire that came with it). AND YOU ARE DONE!

The issue of your Motorola DCH3416 DVR jumping from scan mode to the end of the file while fast forwarding or rewinding may be due to a software glitch or a problem with the recorded file itself. It's advisable to check for any firmware updates for the DVR, as these can sometimes resolve playback issues. Additionally, try rebooting the DVR, as this can help reset any temporary errors. If the problem persists, consider re-recording the program or contacting customer support for further assistance.

AT&T DVRs typically have varying storage capacities depending on the model. Most common models can hold between 500 GB to 1 TB of content, which allows for recording hundreds of hours of standard and high-definition programming. The exact amount of space available for recorded shows can also depend on the number of recordings and the quality settings chosen by the user.

Run component cables (red,whit and yellow) from the DVR "video out" (yellow) to the "video in" of the DVD recorder. That will send the picture to the DVD recorder. If your DVR or DVD recorder does not have the yellow video out or in as described, use the "S video" out of the DVR to the "S video" in of the DVD recorder. The red and white jacks are for sound....out of the DVR to the audio in of the DVD recorder.

HG mode, or High Grade mode, on video recorders refers to a recording setting that optimizes video quality by using higher bit rates and better compression techniques. This results in clearer images and superior audio quality, making it ideal for capturing high-definition content. However, it also consumes more storage space compared to lower-quality modes. HG mode is often used for important recordings where detail and clarity are essential.

The Tevion MD 42397 is a VHS to DVD recorder, allowing users to transfer their VHS tapes to DVDs. It typically features a built-in VHS player and DVD writer, enabling direct recording from VHS to DVD without the need for a computer. However, it's important to check the specific model's manual for any limitations or requirements.

Error code RC 1 on a Panasonic DVD recorder typically indicates an issue with the disc, such as it being dirty, scratched, or incompatible. To resolve this, first, check the disc for any visible damage and clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth. If the problem persists, try using a different, compatible disc or reset the recorder by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes. If the error continues, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
