Reason i ask is we have video of my students get sprayed w/ OC (pepper spray) and i need to put it on dvd from Hi8 tape. i have the hook up from the video cam to video jack portion. Its about 75mins of tape, so if you need help w/ an install of something i can help w/ that and you can help me record my guys getting sprayed on a DVD.

thank you
mario

 

Yo Mario,

Is that some sort of sick fetish you are into that we don't know about?

I have one... oh and you said... Hi8 tape? Okay... good thing I still have the crappy Hi-8 vid cam. Let me know... i have blank DVDs... but how many copies do you need?

 

Nooooo!!!

The students that we teach are training to be law enforcement personel, in the event that the base (pearl harbor) goes into FP Charlie or Delta. So we record them so that they can see how they perform under extreme and intense pain.

Sweet, so you have a DVD recorder, i have DVD's i just need 1 made and the rest i'll do at work. Oh and i have a Hi8 camera already + power cord so all i would need is your recorder. When do you think is best for you. i'll PM you my #.

thank you
mario

 

Umm... I guess I got your msg wrong. See, the DVD recorder is like the Declaration of Independence in a museum display. Not suppose to leave the premise... and also it belongs to my dad. I can burn a copy for you, but if it's sensitive info not for civilian's eyes then I can't really help you. I hope you understand. Let me know.

 

supposedly i have one on my MAC G5, but i dont know how to use it, feel free to come over and use it if you like

 

^^^ You might be mistaken for a DVD burner.

 

probably, i guess im suppose to be able to burn dvds and make my own dvds, hell i dunno, but if someone does know and your reading this, help up!

 

Well... DVD recorder is a DVD player w/ recording capability. It works like the video recorder/player. Let's say you want to convert an old video tape (analog) to a DVD. You need to use the recorder to transfer the contents to the disc (DVD).

DVD burner makes copies of the actual DVD itself and/or taking files (which are digital from the start) in the computer (music, video, data) and burn them on the discs.

In short, DVD recorder is taking analog source and transferring them to the DVD. DVD burner is taking digital source and transferring them to the DVD.

In Mario's case, he will need a DVD recorder because his source is a Hi-8 tape.

 

u can use some kind of capture device i.e., tv tuner, etc, to record the tape to a video file to ur computer. then u can burn a cd from ur computer.
