Now if I don't want to re-edit, could I record a programme I wanted to keep on one of those cheap discs that I burn music on off my computer? |

15 Dec 04 - 02:00 PM (#1357786) Subject: RE: dumb question about recordable dvd From: Big Al Whittle I suppose what I meant is that manuals have certain conventions. Something along the lines of..... Thank you and congratulations for buying the dogshit 301. This machine will give you years untramelled pleasure, improve the quality of your life, and by and large it is made by damn good chaps.etc blah blah blah Your statutory rights are not affected and when a technological change is en train.... If previously you have been using a a role of selotape and a backscratcher for recording tv programmes....... I may have overlooked these sections in the manual. |

Normally I get them from local computer fair but John's son got the last lot from the above as he wanted Full Face printables. I picked up a Philips DVD recorder a couple of months ago, it uses +DVDR/W but has a built in 80gig hard drive as well - which is handy for taking out ads etc. prior to writing DVDr PB |

I'm slowly transfering 23 years of "Home Video" over to DVD at the moment. If you have a DVD recorder in your computer the new Nero has a video editing suite included and if you don't have a video input on your PC you can use DVD-RWs to transfer your recordings or a cheap USB interface. As most of the home video was already edited it's just a straight forward back to back copy from the Video recorder/camera to DVDrs - just stick 'em on and come back 3 hours later. If you have a camera you can practise/record all them songs to DVD-RW then sit back and watch/listen to 'em later :-) PB |
