Digital Video Recorders

Depending on how old it is, you can go wrong with any DVD RW

Hit info, go to record, hit record. Unfortunately, you only recod from that point on. To record the whole thing, in the info section there is a hit for "view upcoming shows", go there and see if the program is being shown some other time, if so, hit that.

I just approached this problem, I connected the antenna into the Insignia, an from the Insignia to the Tivo (Series 2), then from the Tivo into the TV. This way I watch Tivo and use the Insignia channels when I change to (Tivo) channel 3. Perhaps not a perfect solution but gives me both of their full capabilites.

Sure. I do it all the time. But then again, I have a computer set up to do just that. In other words, it depends on your computer, video cards, software and the like. If you've got an `el cheapo computer' it may be more difficult to accomplish.

Night vision cameras convert ambient light photons into electons. Those electrons are amplified by an electrical and chemical process and converted into visible light.

There is a very small reset button on the back of the Motorola dch3416. It is indented into the device so you will need to use something with a very small tip to actually press the button.

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.

A con of a VHS tape is that it is big and takes up a lot of room to store. A pro of a VHS tape is that the tape is protected by a cover.

If it is a Dish or DirecTV DVR, you cannot.

Not unless you want it to.

The TV signal is passed simultaneously to the tuner in the DVR and to the TV.

If you are watching the channel you are recording, the recording will be happening at the same time.

You do not need a TV attached to the DVR, it just becomes harder to see what you are doing. A lot of DVRs have two tuners, so that two different channels can be recorded at the same time. That then allows you to free up the TV tuner to watch a third channel live (not recorded).

You can also record two channels and also play back a recorded program, all at the same time.

The DVR has it's own antenna input for it's own tuners.

It also has an antenna output, which passes the aerial signal to the TV, so it too can share the same antenna.

Recorders used to output an RF signal on the output socket (CH35, or tuneable)

These days there is no RF signal out from the recorder, this is handled by HDMI or AV cables to the TV.

If you want an efficient streaming video recorder which doesn't burden your resources much, I would suggest you to consider ScreenRec. It is super fast and works for all operating systems. I have been using it for the last few months and it is giving me exceptional results.

"Yes, Freesat is a type of personal video recorder. It acts much like a Digital video recorder and allows you to set it to record your favorite television episodes."

According to the user manual this is how to record or "dub" from hard drive to DVD

Insert a blank DVD into the tray,navigate to the title list with arrow keys and press PLAYLIST + KEY on the title you want to dub. When the title is added to dubbing list a dubbing icon will appear next to it on the list. In order to start the Dubbing operation press RECORD key on the remote.

It also says you can play titles from and record to hard disk while dubbing is operation.

I have not tried this myself yet but it seems straight forward enough

The record menu should give you the option to select a given date (one-time), or every week on the same date and time.

I have successfully stopped the recording on two separate panasonic recorders, after which the player would not read or record disks. Apparently this breaks the machine forever.

Yes, there are domestic DVD player/recorders, for your TV/entertainment system. They have tuners to record from TV and AV inputs for recording from other sources.You can also get combi units with DVD and VHS tape in the same machine, for copying across.

to finalize a disc hit setup/ up down buttons select edit/ press ok/ up down buttons select finalize / press ok / up down buttons to select yes/ press OK, this operation will take some time.

Refer to your owner's manual. It's all in there.

With an HP dvd recorder, you can record files onto a dvd whether it be movies, music, or pictures. It's a great piece of hardware to have on your computer.

Yes. Check out your options with other providers though--the minimal fee of the DVR service with Cable or Satellite TV is well worth not purchasing a DVR that may be obsolete in a few years. Dish TV for example has the Dish Hopper which allows up to 2000 hours of standard digital programming. You can also attach an additional hard drive (purchased separately) and pay a one time fee if you need over 2,000 hours.

None. You have to have an SD card inserted into the camera to store photos and video. It does accept SDHC cards. I currently have a 4GB in my Insignia (Not the HD model) and it will record almost 3 hours of video on it.

Both AVI and WMV file formats use specific methods to store and arrange data within the file. They are both able to use compressed files as well as handling non compressed files. The type of file format used offers no indication of the compression ratios used for either the audio or video content of the file.

You most likely can but are missing the correct program to play that media file.

I recommend Quicktime player as it is small and efficient for playing basic media

The very plain funtion of the video digitizer is to turn an analog picture into a digital one

Sony developed the first digital camcorder that recorded uncompressed data and in 1995, they came out with the DV standard. Formats for digital camcorders include direct to disk recording and Digital8. Digital camcorders now record in MPEG formats.
