Answer 2

Hi Bo Duke,

Any DVD recorder will work. We use DVDs for training and our experience has been bad with Sony and good with Philips and Toshiba.

If you want to copy to your computer so you can edit the video before you burn the DVD you will want a device like DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can’t remember what it cost but I believe it was $39.95.

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.
