Digital Video Recorders

To get your JVC camcorder out of safeguard mode, first ensure that the battery is fully charged and properly installed. If the camcorder is displaying a safeguard mode message, try resetting the device by removing the battery for a few minutes and then reinserting it. Additionally, check for any error indicators and consult the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to your model. If issues persist, consider contacting JVC customer support for further assistance.

Two possibilities: 1) your clock is set slightly off. Clocks sometimes "drift" and you need to adjust their settings occasionally. 2) the networks sometimes screw around with the start and stop times of programs, to discourage people who "time shift" (record something to watch at a more convenient time). For example, this coming Tuesday, ABC has "Body of Proof" starting at 10:01, not at 10:00 - so if you record this show, you may miss the last minute of it.

Of course, "live" events like a football game can run overtime and affect the times of other programs on the same network.

You can buy a digital slate or digital clapperboard from various online retailers such as Amazon, B&H Photo Video, and Adorama. Additionally, specialized film equipment stores and websites like Sweetwater and Filmtools offer a range of options. If you prefer to see the product in person, check out local electronics or camera shops. Always compare prices and read reviews to find the best option for your needs.

Yes, you can record from a Sky box onto a DVD or memory stick using a digital TV recorder, but it depends on the specific equipment and connections available. You'll typically need to connect the Sky box to the digital TV recorder via HDMI or composite cables, and then use the recorder's functions to capture the content. Keep in mind that some Sky content may be protected by digital rights management (DRM), which could prevent recording or copying. Always check the compatibility and legal guidelines before recording.

The recording time on a 64GB card for a camcorder depends on the video resolution and compression format used. For example, at standard definition (SD), it can record approximately 10 to 12 hours, while at high definition (HD), it may record around 4 to 8 hours. In 4K resolution, the recording time could be significantly shorter, typically around 1 to 2 hours. Always check the camcorder's specifications for precise estimates based on your settings.

The same way you would rename a folder, or any other file. Right click and then scroll down to the rename option and click on it. Just be sure that you keep the extension after the period, otherwise, Pinnacle won't recognize it.

Using the adapter, play the tape as normal on a VHS player.

You also need a dedicated DVD recorder, or a computer with DVD burner and AV capture card.

Hook the VHS player to the computer or recorder via the Phono leads (or SCART in europe). Connect the video OUT of the VHS to the Video IN of the DVD recorder or computer capture device. Do similar with the audio leads.

The rest depends on the make and model of your DVD recorder, or the software you are using on a computer.

Basically it can be done quite easily, but it has to be done in 'real time'. You play the tape normally and capture it on the device of your choice.

Using a computer and editing software, you can do more with editing and adding effects and titles.

Sony is a top brand and is known for being a quality product. There are a lot of rip off knock-off brand DVD players, but if I were to go out and buy one without price being a factor I would probably choose a Sony.

No... Your DVR uses hard drive technology that saves data to a disk that retains its contents even if unpowered.

I would like to have the choice of recording programmes, not ones that are designated by a tv company. Eg I am paying for a television network, in fact two, the BBC for their network and licence which covers radio transmissions for which I had agreed a very long time ago. The other for SKY. I am next asked to pay for definition tv. Not so.

However when I want to record a tv programme, which is becoming rarer, I would like to have the choice. My television which I bought as state of the art as having lots of facilities will not allow me to record another programme unless it it on view.

A consumer could purchase a 3ccd camcorder from the Amazon website, and online auction sites such as eBay. Craigslist is another good place to look for this camera.

Any DVD/VCR combo with a composite out will work great with your TWC DVR.

A DVD player with record facility, or a DVD combi unit in a computer.

You will also need recordable media in the form of blank DVD disks, either record once DVD-R, DVD+R or rerecordable called DVD-RW and DVD+RW.

You will have to check the specification of the home recorder or computer drive, to see which types of recordable disks are supported.

Some will only work with the '-' type and others the '+' type. More modern ones will record on all material.
