Answer 1

Answer 2

You need to purchase a DVD recorder.  You can buy them at Costco for about 250.00 dollars.

Answer 3

Yes, there are a couple of ways to do it.

If you DVR has an active USB port or can be networked, you might be able to copy onto your network.

There are also many hacks out there to make DVR's network able.   I've used software from here before successfully:

You could also stream to a video capture card.  To do that you need to have 1 of the following to get it from your DVR to you computer:

A video capture card inside your PC, either a combo video card that also does capture like the All-In Wonder cards, or a dedicated separate video capture card

OR

An external (USB/FireWire) video capture device like a Dazzle that will plug into your comptuer externally and let you plug any video input into it.

Both have the RCA/S-Video inputs you need to feed VHS, DVD, Cable, or any other video feed into your PC.

After you capture to your PC you can do watch it, burn DVD's or format for iPods, PSP, or just save the video.
