I was wondering if there is a dvd burner that does not have to be connected to your computer? A seperate burner that is used only for burning that has no ties with your computer at all. If so about how much do they run and are they a good product??

Yes. They are to record video such as the DVD Burners you find with Set-Top DVD Players or the ones you find in video cameras.
I would check out your local electronics store to find one (Best buy, Circuit city, etc). But, if you have a desktop, it's a VERY CHEAP upgrade. I got a DVD+RW for my system for just $30 and it works great, especially for backup. Even if you have a laptop, there's a high chance that Newegg has an OEM drive that you can put in your computer to give you a DVD burner for cheaper than the set-tops can cost and you can do TONS more with it.
Oh, just to add, the other versions of burners are disc duplicators. But an idividual has no need for items like this unless they are actually buying them for a company who is doing data archiving.

I have never heard of such. Here is the reason this product is probably not on the market..... It is illegal to copy material that is copyrighted. PC DVD burners are excused because you can use your PC to make and edit your own movies and burn them to a DVD. The product you are talking about would only be good for making illegal copies.

This is the only DVD burner that can be used by itself, but also can be used with your PC: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1892395&CatId=89 It's quite expensive, though. Now, if these are what you are talking about: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=490 then they are a fine product, but they only give you the same video quality that you recorded. And they all only have S-video inputs, so even if you have high-def, you can't record high-def with them.

You did not write what operating equipment your pc has. understanding the OS is an truly good help in expertise our environment. i am going to anticipate you've MS living house windows. MS living house windows has everyday drivers, so I doubt that this is a motive force issue. i recently put in a Samsung DVDcontinual and MS living house windows without delay took care of motive force subject matters. to ascertain in case your pc recognizes thecontinual, bypass to gadget manager and see if it shows up there. you may see it, yet shows a difficulty. If gadget Mgr doesn't see thecontinual, then thecontinual is both no longer linked wisely or is undesirable. you may have undesirable cables. in spite of the indisputable fact that the possibilities element to a badcontinual.

Yes, search on both of the sites, you will find what you are looking for. http://www.newegg.com/ or http://www.tigerdirect.com/
Here is a whole page of them http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=92&
I recommend both sites for trusted online shopping. Have used both without anyproblems, even with returns.
