DVD Player/Recorder?




Helping to


How do these machines operate?? Is the quality any good??

How much can you fit onto a standard DVD disk??



Answer
DVD players simply focus a dot of light on a prestamped or burned disk using a laser, reading highly compressed pits and lands. A DVD burner works much like a cd burner does, using a near infrared laser it focuses a very small laser dot onto the dye layer of a recordable DVDR, the heat from the laser changes the texture of the dye creating the pits and lands, DVDRW discs are way different, they use a liquified crystalline solution that solidifies when exposed to a specific temperature for a specific amount of time, when it comes time to erase a re-writable disk simply re-liquifies the solution. You can fit 4.7 GB on a single layer single sided disc and a little over 8GB on a dual layer disk.

Can I record from a dvd player to dvd recorder?

I mean instead of recording just straight tv.


Answer
Assuming the tape/DVD that you're trying to copy is not copy protected or copyright material, yes you can. It is a very simple process of hooking up the outputs of the player to the inputs of the recorder. I would recommend that you use the SVHS video output (if there is one) and the two red/white audio outputs into their respective inputs. Put your source on to play, put the recorder on record. You may need to locate the "line in" for the recorder to see the video and audio signals you want to record.

I tape my daughters basketball games and burn them to DVD. Sometimes I need to make copies. It is an easy thing.

If you're trying to copy a commercial DVD, such as a movie, you will find this won't work. Thus the term "copy protected." There are methods, using a computer, that will overcome copy protection, but breaking any method of DRM (digital rights management) is illegal.

Good luck!
