Digital Video Recorders

There are various generations of the Archos DVR station, each of which can be bought in several different locations. Some of the best places to purchase this product are Amazon, BHPhotoVideo, and Ebay.

yes, find a player for your digital video (probably your digital video camera) and it should have an analogue output, usually a yellow video cable which you can plug into the back of a VCR.

Unless you want to record a digital signal onto a VHS cassette, and the simple answer to that is no.

A camcorder is a portable consumer electronics device for recording video and audio using a built-in recorder unit. The camcorder contains both a video camera and a video recorder in one unit, hence its compound name. This compares to previous technology where an acquisition and recording devices would be separate.

No, you can not

If you prefer personal interaction, a local store may be your best option. (Best Buy) However if you know exactly what you want, you can always visit the Sony website and purchase directly from them.

One can purchase HD DVR recorders from several possible locations, such as a local electronic retailer. Some of many examples includes, Curry, PC World and Argos. One may also consider using online stores, for instance Amazon and eBay.

Hi,

On a VCR without a tuner, you'll need to use the video and audio input jacks either from the cable?satellite box or your TV if they're available. Remember, the yellow jack is for video and the red is for the right audio, the white is for the left channel audio.

Hope this helps,

Since this is a VCR question, it all has to do with the speed the tape runs through the VCR. The faster the tape, the higher the quality of the video you're recording because the recorder is able to put more picture information on the tape.

SP, or standard speed will allow a VHS tape to record for a period of 2 hours and will provide the highest quality picture. EP (which has for the most part, been dropped by the manufacturers) would record for four hours and LP, which is the slowest speed, will record for six hours, but with degraded video. This is of course, based on the standard VHS cassette. They do make an 8 hour tape, which will run at approximately 2 hrs and 40 minutes at SP, 5 hours and 40 minutes at EP, and eight hours at lp. Most stores don't carry the T-160 tapes and they are a bit more expensive.

Most VCR's manufactured today will still play an EP recorded tape, but cannot record at that speed.

The first DVD players were the Panasonic DVD-A100 and the Toshiba SD-3000. These both came out on the same day in Japan (November 1st 1996), and were priced at the equivalent of around 700 American dollars.

Only 10 different discs were available at the time, mostly music videos.

The first video cameras were produced in the 1920s in support of the early television systems. John Logie Baird built a camera as part of his television system demonstrated in 1925. Philo Farnsworth made a fully electronic camera that was demonstrated in 1929. The video camera, or television camera, is a fundamental part of television so cameras have been around for as long as television has existed.

Color cameras were developed and trialled in the 1950s and were used commercially in 1954 by RCA when they began successful broadcasting of color television in the US.

The next ambition among developers was to produce a portable, combined camera and recorder. The size of cameras and recorders in the 1950s made it impossible to call any device portable. It took the development of video cassettes to enable a truly portable "camcorder"

They were first developed for television production, especially for news telecasts of on-the-spot events; but they were soon marketed as a family resource-the record keeper of milestones such as weddings and graduations and a baby's first steps. Now video recording has come full circle as amateurs make spur-of-the-moment videos of events ranging from slices of life of their family and friends to major disasters or scandals.

Developments in camera and recording technologies has made the video camera and the camcorder more accessible over four decades. Both size and cost have reduced steadily to the point where they can be included in cell phones and deliver a quality that is similar or better than the first domestic camcorders of the 1970s and early1980s.

The purpose of a Direct TV HD DVR is for recording device for recording television shows and movies in HD from satellite television channels. Direct TV offers satellite television service in HD,

The manufacturer of your camcorder should have parts listed on their website for sale. If they do not, eBay is a great place to find those hard to find parts for anything.

I called yesterday to find out myself and I was told $16.95 per month.

First off: why would you bother? The video will be inferior, and tapes are getting harder to find because the VCR is a dying technology. If your answer is "My granny has a VCR", consider buying her a DVD player - you can buy one new for $30 or less at WalMart, and get one used at a yard sale for about $10 or so.

With that said, hook up the audio and video out jacks on the DVR (coded red, green and yellow) to the similar a/v in jacks on the VCR, set the VCR to record from these jacks (as opposed to recording from the tuner), press "record" on the VCR, and press "play" on the DVR.

No, once a DVD-R is burned (or even partly burned) there is no way to 'unburn' it for reuse.

All you need to do is run a coaxial cable from your set-top-box or TV antennea to the back of your VCR's "RF" or "ANT" in jacks. When you find something that you want to record, simply tune to that channel and press the record button on your VCR unit or remote control.

An AV output is one or several connectors that output both video and audio signals from a device. They are found on terrestrial and satellite receivers, video recorders as well as some televisions.

The output may be analog, using composite video, s-video, component or RGB with audio normally carried on a pair of connectors for left and right signals. Typically, domestic equipment will use RCA (phono) connectors although there are other connectors that are used in commercial equipment.

Digital outputs are normally restricted to HDMI on modern equipment - a single connector that carries video and audio signals. DVI may also be called an AV connector but as it does not carry audio, it doesn't strictly fit the definition. Broadcast equipment uses a single co-axial connection on a BNC connector and carries SDI, a digital signal that can carry video, audio and other signals.

Whatever the interface, it needs to be connected to a similar input to a television, a recorder input or similar device to link the output to any other equipment.

It depends...

If the DVR was purchased at a store and has a card slot....the answer may be yes.

TiVo stand alone systems, Panasonic, ARCHOS... etc

If your system was bought from Dish network.... Probably not.

DISH NETWORK AND DIRECTV are working on that option for their DVRs. DISH NETWORK's option allows the use of a standard external USB drive, but it formats in a propietary format so it cannot be moved from one DVR to another. Thank you RIAA and MPAA for that wonderful option!

DISH NETWORK currently has a series of DISHPlayers that video can be downloaded through the USB port on the DVR to the DISHPlayer personal video player

Alot of DVR's are through cable company's and most of them do require an additional montly fee . I do not know of any at this time that you can buy that do not require an additional fee for using .

tivo is a service you pay for its a dvr but its just called tivo and a dvr is a digital video recorder theres more than just tivo available. theres dvr boxes where you dont have to pay anything. hope it helps you

It's hard to say without knowing the type of video you are talking about. If it is full quality, component, digital standard definition video, then around one second. Use the same space for HD and it drops to 0.2 seconds. Compressed video is rather different and the figure can be anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the amount of compresison, the image size and the frame rate. Most video clips have a fixed data rate. Good quality compressed video will be in the region of 2Mb. 2Mb data will take up 0.2MBytes for each second or 5 seconds per megabyte. If you are trying to store video data for editing, then it is best to avoid compressing the data, so expect a shorter time for raw video.

There's usually a cord that comes with the camera that has a connection to the camera at one end and a usb or firewire port on the other. If the camera did not come with one, you could take your camera to best buy, Radioshack, basically any electronics place and they would be able to help you with a cord to connect your camera and computer.
