How do I record a dish DVR show into a dvd or a vcd?

Answer 1

Hi yeyepaz,

I don't know if you mean on your computer or on a DVD recorder.

If you mean on a recorder feed the Red White Yellow cables from the output of your DVR into the Red White Yellow input on your DVD recorder.

If you mean your computer you will need an interface like DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.htm

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

Another (expensive - $150) is this device from Pinnacle Systems - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8040611&st=usb+video+editor&type=product&id=1157068283607
