Thread: DVD Recorders

Hi Baz, from most of the articles I’ve read on making your own home grown DVDs, they are all pretty well saying just what you posted.

As long as your not planning to do more than simple editing, they are easy to use and cost heaps less than buying a computer to do it and you are more likely to get more use from one as compered to a computer.

Cheers.

Baz.

Baz - I don't understand - you can play back your DVDs in the DVD recorder. I appreciate that DVDs burnt on one piece of equipment may have problems playing on other equipment but your new DVD recorder is also a DVD player so you should be able to watch them.

Sorry if I have missed something here.

Gazzz (rhymes with Baz )

Sorry if I have missed something here.

Ditto, as if I have read correctly, that doesnt make sense ie the recorder then wont play the DVD,s recorded

Well we have a DVD player and the new DVD recorder hooked up to the same TV we expected to be able to play them on both, we don't want 2 hooked up to the same TV, we were going to move the original player to another room and used there, but no point now as it won't play the DVDs we record on the new one.

Baz.

have you finalised your burnt DVD's so they can be played on other players? Also your player might be a + or - format whilst your sons a multizone. Not all plastic shiny discs are the same unfortunately

Ahh ok I get ya now, you need to play on one to be able to record onto the other..correct? Then with the copied DVD they will only play on one of the players. It cant play and record at the same time through the one source ie playing the dvd on the recorder and copying at the same time? Im looking to get one soon so am interested as want to copy movies from video camera onto disk etc,

Yep done that, we didn't first up but the others we have done we have finalized.

The fact that it works on ours sons DVD leads us to think that it's just this player.
