Copying DVCs to DVD

1. Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba and others.

2. I've done the video to PC to DVD-R on a 1GHz Athlon with only 256 Megabytes. I think it can be done with less and the amount of ram is not likely to be a limiting factor.

Given no details I'm going to write yes. I've yet to encounter a camcorder that this method doesn't work.

ok I tried it today hooking up my camcorder to my SV2000 DVD Recorder w/ Analog Tuner, WV10D6
well it worked like a charm. It recorded to the dvd recorder in real time from the camcorder to the dvd recorder, and played back on the dvd recorder after it wrote to the dvd recorder. Then I checked it out in another player and no such luck it would not play in any player that are school had or any computer drive. any help would be great. I'm useing DVD-R and I recorded at the 2hr mode not the 1hr, which is what they call HQ. HELP.

Some recorders have a function to finalize the DVD to make it playable on more players.

HOWEVER!!! I gifted a few of our home DVD players to others because they would not play ANY recorded DVD media. Since I don't see the make and model of the player you tried I can't check to see if that model has issues with recorded media.

Here is my DVD recorder type, it is an SV2000 DVD Recorder w/ Analog Tuner, WV10D6. The WV10D6 is the model number. I bought it at walmart, you pay for what you get.

bob you are great just read the manual. The finalizing of the disc works great. thanks for your help.

Always nice when it all works out.

Hi, I borrowed my friends Panasonic HQ SV2000 recorder and was able to transfer my mini dv's to a DVD. She can't find her manual, however,and I can't figure out how to finalize them. Can you tell me how you did it?

Thanks much!

I am buying this as a christmas gift....want to record from camcorder to dvd you said it worked?

I borrowed my friends HQ SV2000 DVD recorder so I could transfer my camcorder tapes to a DVD. Unfortunately she lost her instruction manual and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this! I thought it looked simple. Hook the camcorder up to the DVD player, press play on the camcorder and record on the DVD player. It didn't work. Has anyone done this and can you tell me how you did it?

THANK YOU!
TJ

But as above it has worked for many. But what if you didn't select that input to be recorded?

Bob

Bob,

I bet you're right! I didn't select any specific input to be recorded. Can you tell me how I select one? Thanks again!!

I don't own your model. But I usually fiddle with the controls until I see my camcorder on the TV output of the DVD recorder...

We do this all the time for football. I even have are cam's hooked up to both a dvdr and a vhs recorder. Frist chech to see what channel you are in. most of the time you need to be in line 1 or line 2 which is front or rear inputs. After you see the dvdr'spicture of your montor you are ready to record, just push record and when it is done hit stop it should sat writing disc. After that you need to finalizes it. Hit setup go down to finalize. That should do it.

Thanks! I finally found the problem... I had it set to rear input rather than front input. I got it to work now. I have over 20 tapes to transfer to DVD. This could take awhile. Do all DVD's record the same amount of time? I think the DVD's I have will record 4 hours but can't find anything on the package or disc that confirms this.

yes they are pretty standard, but I think they might have longer record time one's not sure, google it.
