R. Tran - No. The MDR513H and MDR515H can only record to DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW or DVD-RW disks.

Hi Wendy, Sony DVD-R 100DMR47RS4 are regular DVD discs. They're not double sided and can't be use don a Mini-DVR handycam. -Vincent

I have not done so personally, But I believe you can do that with any vhs/dvd machine So long as you have it connected properly. You have to be sure that your DVR gets connected to the VHS/DVD player, Then you should be able to record onto a VHS tape, not a DVD cuz it's not a burner. Hope that helps.

Yes. The latest Firmware FW1.20EU (shipping with it) gets you 14x DL recording with MEI__RB1 media. 5x, 3x and 2x DVD-RAM and even BDXL writing is actually supported

I don't think you can. I looked at mine, and I did not see anything on there that said DVR - for Record. But a note, I quit using the VCR a few months in because it starting eating tapes. I only use it for DVD's.

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR.RP

Yes you can, with a little work. Go to AVSforum and search the DVR+ thread for their testing of a program called "ffmpeg" which converts the original file to a useable format.

I tried to record using a Sony DVD+R DL disc but it ran out of space after 2 hours. Sony says that this disc is not compatable with the DVDirect VRD-MC5 (although the manual indicates otherwise) and I should use a Verbatim disc, which I haven't tried yet.

Your Mac won't recognize a +R disc. I have a Magnavox that takes a DVD-R disc and records a vhs tape to the DVD-R disc as DVD+vr and my Mac doesn't even recognize the disc. Big mistake on my part.

While watching from (or via) the Magnavox (output to my TV), I am only able to watch a program pre-recorded on the HDD/DVR at the same time that another program is being recorded. Cannot tune to more than one station at a time (to record one, while attempting to watch another). . .Not sure I quite understand J. Kavanaugh's answer, but sounds like something cool to learn to do!

We have played DVD+R and DVD-R dual layer on this unit with no problems. We usually record 16x media at 4x for best quality.

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.

Only if it is an external dvd recorder/player, check the compatibility for software version, and operating system supported. Good luck.

Yes, the unit accepts most common recordable DVD media. You may record directly to DVD or dub from the HDD of previously recorded items.

FYIThe Toshiba DR400 manual says it will record content at the correct (source) aspect on DVD-RW but "always at 4:3 on DVR+RW/ +R."Go figure. Might be something to look into.

I think you mean dvd- or dvd+ discs. Yes it will record on both. With the DVD+ you can erase and record over if you want.

As far as I know, DVR video formats are not playable on anything other than the recording device or a computer. Copy the DVR files onto a computer first, convert the video to a more common video format, then burn that file on a DVD.
