how can you take videos from your dvr to a computer, or burn them to a disc?

Question

I want this movie that I recorded to be burned onto a dvd disc, or to my computer

Answer 1

DVRs like VCRs have to follow copy protection laws. If your movie is copy protected you may not be able to make a copy.

If it is not, then connect a DVD recorder (or the video input of your PC) to the output of your DVR and record it.

Answer 2

Hi Theo,

I move video from my TiVo to my computer with DVD Xpress and then burn them to DVD.

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

The DVD Xpress2 is out now. Walmart has it.

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