So, this mini cam just connects right into your DVD player? Forgive the dumb question, I am just not a huge tech guy and I need to find out whose stea

It can be connected directly to dvd player, IF it has an input. Most DVD players don't have input, so the answer is no.

you can hook to any monitor or TV that has the correct inputs. You can also hook directly to a DVR.

It is an adaptor so the mini dv tape can play on the dvc player. It is not a machine for playback just an adapter

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Can I connect this directly to my DVD player? My DVD player has the following: "Line out video"; "S-Video out"; "R, L Audio out"; "Component video out" (which is 3 RCA size jacks); "Digital out coaxial" (which is one RCA size jack). Thanks.

Sorry, I have never tried to play a dvd that I recorded myself. It seems like the process should be the same as the motion picture companies use to create dvds so my guess is that the player should read them.

It should work if you run it in "Repeat All Disc"? Or at least it should work for DVD Audio.Just curious ... why is it so important to run DVD-video discs (assume that's what you were asking) 1 thru 5 automatically? You would have to be in front of your TV watching it any way... it's just 1 click to jump to next disc.

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

I have yet to even get my DVD player to work, so you have exceeded what I can do. I should ask how you got yours to work. ??? I haven't even been able to get an answer from RCA.

It has to be connected to another player. This is a mixer, not a DVD player. To find out more about the function, read my earlier post on this

Hi, I think what you will need is a DVD-R for your cam! The cd-r won't hold the visuals on it, strictly audio:)

i would also love an answer to this question! i'm finding it impossible to find a dvd recorder that does not connect to a tv directly through a receiver box..........i'm way past aggravated w/ the whole thing! why can't they make products as good as they used to?

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

NO, It connects to your RCA-Video IN, Jack, on a TV, Or VCR, But in all honesty, I have mine plugged into a 7 inch Portable TV/MONITOR, for viewing & Haven't Tried Recording by using an VCR?Digital Recorder yet But for the LOW COST of this, It's worth the price for just viewing. Word of Caution, The Connectors are all B.N.C., You may want to invest the $5 or $6 dollars & get a 5Pk. of RCA/BNC Adapters, It's still a great Bargain. By the way, This unit has some great features like P.I.P., Auto Scrolling, ZOOM, And Take your time to learn Setting up your Camera, The Color settings are a bit tricky, Each Camera is slightly different, But once set, I got Great Picture Quality out of $25 - $50.00 Cameras. So don't let these little things put you off, They Work Great & may need an IR Spotlight source at Night only. P/S, It Voids the Warranty, But these units may Flicker from loose connections, If you Know your way around a Soldering Iron , A Few EASY reheating of some connections, Removed all Flickering Problems. By the way, These Units & Cameras & Monitors all work on 12VDC x 500ma. In other words, You can set them up in your car, If you know how!.

Yes. You need to connect an HDMI cable to the back of your DVD player to the HDMI connection in the back of your tv. You can find it by looking at the manual info that came with your tv.

Hi, It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

I don't have the mini, but I've read all over that i will play .ISO files just like if it were in a DVD player.I have the regular WDTV and it will play .ISO files, but will only play the main movie (or the longest file, i.e. when I select The Aristocrats .ISO file, it plays the extra un-edited joke video and not the main movie)

Thats all I did with this cable. Just plug it into your comp, or dvd player and it should work like a charm.
