How many hours does a disc record in a dvd recorder connected to a t.v?

You can record up to 8 hours on these disks. Video quality is based on the recording mode you chose (60/120/240/360/480) so 60 minute mode gives the best quality while 480 minute mode gives the lowest video quality.

My dvd recorder has different settings. It can record anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours on one disc depending on what setting I use. I usually use the SLP setting on my dvd recorder so I can record up to 6 hours on a disc.

All the DVDs I use can record 6 hr by setting it to that level when I activate the DVDs. I have not recorded less hrs as the qualities of the copied satisfies me.

This DVD recorder is for computers, not your tv. You will have trouble finding a DVD recorder for your tv. Try purchasing a DVR instead.

Depends on the quality/rate of the video or your recorder's settings. You can fit 297 minutes (5hrs) on a 4.2Gb DVD at a 2mb per second speed. It is mainly up to your DVD writing software and the settings you choose for it. Most DVD's from movie studios are from 4-8Mb per second, 8Mb gives your 74 minutes of time, and 4Mbs 148 minutes. The quality of the video is naturally better at the higher rate, but you can't "add" quality or clarity simply by increasing it's rate, it may have the opposite effect in extreme cases.

You can set a specific time to record in 15, 30, 1 hour file. you can also do a manual recording, not sure if it will overwrite when its full or stop recording.

Anywhere from 15-40 seconds depending how much data (music) is on the CD. It's the best recorder I've owned and this is my third one.

Yes , connect the output of the cable box to the recorder then out of the recorder to the tv. When a DVD is inserted and you hit record, it will record straight to the dvd

No, it's not DVD recorder. It's a combo of DVD player and VCR (VHS recorder and player).

Yes, that is what I use it for exclusively. First I record a program on my dvr, then I play the DVR'd program while recording on the Toshiba. I have a component cable (3 prongs) that runs from my cable box (video, audio L and audio R out) to my Toshiba (video, audio L and audio R in). Works great. This also allows me to control when I start and stop the recording. Sometimes a movie will not last a full two hours, but will stop 10 minutes before to show "coming attractions," etc.

Only if you sit with it and fast forward through the commercials on your dvr remote and hit stop on the dvd recorder. Or just let it record you fast forwarding. I just dont worry about it. I just hit the ez record button untill it displays 30 min or 1 hour after hitting play on the dvr and come back in an hour and do it again. Note: You need to set up the recording mode to fit your space needs. I do the one that lets 2 hours on a single dvd and it looks crisp.

I record 6 hours @ slp! The quality is great in my opinion! I record TV shows on my Magnavox DVD recorder! I have never tried the other speeds, but I don't see how they can record much better!

I believe around 72 hours, mine is only put 8gb and it record up to 18 hours but there is a option for loop recording so mine is whenever the video file over 18 hours, it will delete itself and keep recording the new one, hope my answer will help you :)

So if I wanted to record a program that's longer than 2 hours (DVD length) I could record directly to the DVD at, say, Long Play mode? Or I could record to HDD at LP mode so I could burn a DVD later? It does make sense to burn at the recorded speed; thanks for the hint! Thanks for the help!

Darlene: You've probably already figured it out by now, but I'm going to post this reply for anyone else who may be having the same problem. While in DVD mode (the green light above "DVD" is lit up, push the "Rec Mode" button on your remote control. It is the button just to the left of the red "Record" button. Each time you press that a new record speed will appear on your screen. It cycles through each one and then goes back to the beginning and will even tell you how many minutes you have left on that disc to record with at that speed.

The DVD-R blanks will hold 4 hours of video, but whether or not your Toshiba recorder can write to such double layer DVD blank depends on its capabilities, which I can not assess.

Actual record time depends upon your machine and its software. If you are using a PC, the times can vary widely, but none will allow more than a few minutes extra past 2 hours. Devoted DVD recorders from some companies, such as Magnavox (Funai), will allow 1 to 2 minutes past the 2-hour time, while Panasonic (Matsushita) gives exactly 2 hours. Incidentally, Magnavox units normally offer a 2 1/2-hour mode with very slight reduction in video quality versus the 2-hour mode.

Yes, it does. I have been using dvd recorders since they first came in the market and were big clunkers. You can program a recording, time etc. just like a vcr, but you don't have to rewind looking for a program. Soooo much better.

Yes, using AV cables to a dvd recorder. Play program on dvr while recording on dvd recorder. Simple.
