dvd -r's: does anyone know of any portable media device that can do this?

any portable media player that supports video can do this. all you need is the right software, such as a dvd ripper, encoder, and codecs, and the right hardware, like a computer that can view dvds.

T.R.MillerAre you saying that you can continually record over DVD+RW (read-write) discs?

With some form of conversion kit, but it wouldn't make sense, If you want an external DVD RW, the DVD RW drive with power adapter, etc. would probably cost less than converting this one.

you don't have to use an external DVD drive - sheesh! use Handbrake to convert or download an .avi/mp4 version of your movie and watch it via streaming network feed, off a USB thumbdrive, off your SSD, or off an SDHC

Wish I could help, but I only have DVD RW disks. This machine works beautifully on those.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

I haven't found one. The machine is pretty basic, though it copies very well. I also have a Toshiba machine that is only a dvd recorder, ans it does have that feature.

Even if your DVD player had a USB port, it does not work this way (USB port would most likely be for upgrading firmware or plugging in compatible media). The media-share device does not have the neccesary drivers to allow it to act as a "Host" device, even for USB DVD/RW drives.

Get an USB DVD drive or copy your DVDs in another computer to an ISO file and load them with a virtual drive like Virtual Clone Drive.

So, is there a "special" DVD player just to play region 7 DVDs? What a bout the multiregion DVD players?

I don't know if you'll ever see this reply but it's worth getting the word out anyway. I recently purchased the new Small Wonder combo kit from TigerDirect.com. RCA has put out this DVD burner/Small Wonder camera combo package that is PERFECT for what you are asking about. The camera docks right onto the DVD burner, which connects to a t.v., and the videos will transfer directly into the DVD burner! It's so cool and easy. Plus, the DVD burner acts a stand-alone DVD player AND it will take inputs from other transmission sources (video camera, t.v. tuner, etc). This is a great product and a great value!

Hi, supported playable disc are: DVD, DVD+RW/+R/+R DL (+VR mode), DVD-RW/-R/-R DL (VR mode/video mode), Music CD/Super VCD, CD-R/-RW. Your DVD-R will work on this unit as long as it contains supported files like mp3 or jpeg. -Ely

No there's not, the unit is too small, but there are 3 usb 3.0 ports and a thumb drive is a much better thing to use than a CD or DVD, and you can always plug in an external CD DVD Burner. I've had this unit for over a year and a half now and I still luv it. It has an HDMI port to plug into as big screen TVand I can watch all my down loaded movies and photos ect.

I'm not near the user manual or the device itself right now. I've only used it with DVD-R media. Normally any recorder that handles DVD-R ALSO handles DVD+R media. Don't know about DVD-RW.

I don't think it will work. DVDs have formated files written to them not raw video like this delivers. Sorry

I would say yes. i got a pack of 2 dvd-r disks at the 99cts. store to experiment. it worked. Try it, that's how you find stuff out.dvd-rw - yes

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?
