I bought a DVD Recorder today.....
 

The dude at Best Buy said that I could only record shit off the T.V. but I know that's bullshit. How do I hook up my regular DVD player to my DVD Recorder so that I can burn movies that I rent? :helpme

Hello anyone one out there :1orglaugh

There may be copy protection in place on the machine. i know that most modern vcrs cannot record anything comming from a Dvd unless you put it through a video mixer first or else all you get is a scrambled picture. Might be the same for the dvd recorder

have you plugged another dvd player into the video input? play and record...why didnt you just buy a DVD burner?

I didn't buy a DVD burner cuz it was a gift to my uncle. If it was for me thats exactly what I would have done.

They are all copy protected so that you can't do that.

It's far better to just rip and burn with DVD Decrypter on your PC.

Somebody told me that there is a filter you can by to bypass that? Don't now if its true or not?

you cant its called macrovision, copy protection, some regionfree dvd players and recorders have the ability to turn it off most havent

I want one - and especially a camcorder that goes to dvd - but am holding out a bit longer for the prices to drop just that little bit more.

Ive heard you should be able to do that, look at the post above I think :)
