can this camcorder be used to change tapes to dvd

it can be done but one has to have all the audoi/video connections and whatever else is needed.

Yes but you need a analog to digital adapter like a Elgato video capture device

Sory this record on tape Hi8 and review on both Hi and Hi8 tape only. If you want record dvd you buy different ones.

I purchased this Hi8 camcorder specifically to convert Hi8 video tape, although this camcorder just allows you to play the tape. You will still need a Digital Video Converter such as Canopus / Grass Valley ADVC-110 Advanced Digital Video Converter. There are much cheaper units as well.

The camcorder can play the tape to generate an analog video signal which can be used as the input to video digitizing hardware and support software on a host computer

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery. I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD. That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

I am absolutely positive it will work, F. Melamed. The camcorder probably has RCA composite connections (red and white for audio, yellow for video). If it is mono, one of the audio connections should work for both. If not, go to Radio Shack and get a "Y" connector to connect the mono connection to the stereo connections on the DVD recorder. Once you have them connected, turn both the camcorder and recorder on. Make sure the recorder is tuned to the proper input and then put it into "Record Pause" mode. Then, when you have the tape in the camcorder at the right place, just press "Record" on the DVD recorder. That will give you the cleanest start for your recording. I recommend using the 1 hour DVD mode for the best picture possible.

Yes and yes as long as you can play the tape on your player (VCR, camcorder, DVD player, Tivo, and so on). It's not media or cassette type that is important. As this product comes with a digitizer, you can capture almost everything that has video output via RCA (yellow, red, & white) or S-video. Some camcorders only have RCA with yellow (video) and white (sound), which should work as well. I tried capturing PS3 game playing as video on this product, and it worked wonderfully.

I plugged it into an old VCR with rca plugs and it copied a regular resolution dvd onto tape, so I would assume the answer is yes, but remember that you might experience resolution issues if you are going from HD to low def.

I don't remember if it could or not. The guy had sold me a mess up VCR and DVD player u had gave the man that sold me this 1 star meaning no stars ok so please don't send me this question again I was very upset with this ok

If you can hook up your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder, you should be able to convert your mini dv tapes. You need RCA output from your source to RCA input onto the DVD recorder.

Depends on your camcorder. If it has the video out put via Svideo or plug to RCA then you can transfer to DVD via your computer/laptop. If you use a VCR then you would use the RCA connections. Yes to your answer

It will play and record regular 8mm tapes only. The discription for this product is wrong. I purchased this camcorder to convert my tapes to cds but had to return because my 8mm tapes are high definition and this camcorder will not play them. I purchased another one afterwards (Sony DCRTRV350 Digital8 Camcorder) and it worked great for the high definition tapes.

Yes. It can record to DVD-R, +R, -RW or +RW (even though the manual doesn't mention +R or +RW). You can format DVDs prior to use in either Video mode for playing normally in other players or in VR mode for special editing/playing purposes.

Yes. But make sure the video output connector of your camera is the old standard type Rca. For long recording purposes I would suggest to use systems based on hard disks or solid state (flash) memory and then copy to Dvd only what you want

It will convert any RCA source you hook it up to. So you'll need something that can play beta tapes, like a deck or camcorder, that has RCA output.

Only if you want to play them on anything but the camera itself....but you can change tapes on that anytime. I pesonally prefer to transfer important videos to DVD. There are DVD recorders, especially good ones from Magnavox, that you can simply plug in video and audio inputs to very easily make great DVDs. I have literally scores of such discs for both my business and family videos.

Not unless you have a separate VCR. This is just a DVD recorder. I recorded all my old VCR tapes with it, from a VCR, and it works great.

YES!! I've done it with my Hi-8 video tapes. It was very simple, attaching the output from the video camera to the input on the DVD recorder. First time I tried, I forgot to select the setting for the source, and ended up with a little TV recording, but once I corrected my problem, it went very smoothly.

Camcorders would not work with this DVD burner on their own - you should be able to burn movies to a disc after you have transferred from the camera, to a computer. But you can't do it directly from the camera to the drive. Hope this helps!
