Can I record from a dvd player to dvd recorder?

Question

I mean instead of recording just straight tv.

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

properly, both can play dvd's jst an similar. a classic DVD participant will jst play dvds, cds an such. A dvd recorder can do an similar as a classic DVD participant yet also replica dvds for u,,u can watch some thing on television an list it to the dvd so u can view it later. the better determination is a dvd recorder because it has better ideas with it and if u ever pick to list some thing u can do so. If u dunt list a lot off television den a VCR wud be fantastic thats if u have one..if no longer den maby the recorder is a better physically powerful determination for you. value wise i imagine there iz distinction buh im positive it has dropped or quickly even as by using new interesting blue ray which has come out.

Answer 3

You might need something like a time-base corrector (which is what you use when you copy VHS movies to a blank tape).

As well, you may have to scare down the size of the movie image on the fly -- most movies nowadays take up 4-8 gigs of space on the DVD, and your standard DVD-R only has 4.7. You should probably invest in a computer, burner, and software.

And check your legal rights regarding this, or disregard them at your peril. Because of such restrictive copyright laws, most commercial recorders and movie DVDs probably cripple copying.

Answer 4

yes, just hook up the output cables from the dvd player to the input plugs on the dvd recorder. then use your dvd recorder to select input1 or input2 and you will be able to record
