Can I transfer multiple recordings from my DVR to a single recordable DVD.?

Question

I have a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300C DVR. I have about 60 recordings. Can I transfer several of those shows onto one recordable DVD. I usually use DVD-R discs, because the quality is better.

Answer 1

Hi adonisthegreek1,

Yes, you can put several recordings on one DVD. I usually limit mine to 2 hours of video to keep the quality good.

If I take the time to clip the commercials I can get five 30 minute shows in two hours.

OK, I'll bite on this as well.

Yes, just watch your time settings.  You can tell it to record from 1 hr to 6 or 8 hours.  You can keep recording until you "finalize" (see dvd recorder instructions) your disc.  You need to do this also because it will only play on your unit if you don't.
