Cheap DVD recorder with 8 hour record?
 

Anybody know if there's a cheap DVD recorder capable of recording at
least eight hours? It's for a video capture application where quality
isn't an issue, so a cheap analogue-only dvd recorder from a supermarket
would be fine.

Almost all will record for 6 hours at reduced quality.

Wouldn't you be better off buying a Hard Drive recorder,
much better for continuous high quality recording,
and they aren't expensive anymore, take a look in Maplins

Analogue as in only an analogue tuner, I meant. How long is super long
play?

You can only reburn a DVDrw at most a hundred times,
i've had some fail after only about a dozen times.

I wanted video-capture -- meaning capture from a composite-video input,
which all DVD recorders have, but Freeview PVRs don't. And I'd assumed
that DVD-recorders with hard drives are expensive? I'll have to check.

Anyway, I've looked at Maplin, as you suggested, and I've stumbled across
a £70 media player/recorder and hard drive enclosure that might be
exactly what I want. I think it must have a video input since it says
that it can record from a TV.

That's the sort of thing, but I suspect there's dedicated equipment of a
similar type

Where on earth did you hear that? Maybe if they are manufactured by some
"Arfur Daley" type character but "real" discs can be re-written about 1,000
times:

I've used Traxdata 4X DVD+RW in my DVD recorder and re-written the same 5
discs over 150 times now.

PS, I do agree with your next post that a DVD/HDD recorder is probably the
best way to go.

Personal experience, I use mostly Philips +RW, sometimes Maxell.
I wouldn't count on any of them rewriting more than 50 times,
sometimes they easily will, sometimes they fail before that.

With DVDs you never know, not a good idea when you need reliability
like surveillance recording.

Currently HD's are the way to go, in a few years big Flash memory will take
over

Been there with the 8 hour DVD. Not so good when after 7hrs 50 mins a
lightning flash caused a drop in the mains and the disk was corrupted.

When I was doing it there was not any HD recorders for sensible money.

I would advise HD recorder and cut recording time into 'losable ' time
chunks'

i.e. 8 x 1 hour recordings rather than 1x 8 hour as I mentioned before
when its gone it's gone.

Its not like tape where it would just stop and be ok up to that.

If you plan on playing the recordings back on anything other than the
machine they were recorded on, forget about anything over three hours.

As you see from the replies, a bunch of unhelpful thicko's
who haven't got a clue.

You're doing it on a budget
It seems that portability is not an issue in seeking a DVD recorder.

You want long play but via the analoque capture outputs from
a camcorder direct to DVD disk - that is expecting a lot on a
budget to be able to convert "on-the-fly" an analoque input
signal direct to DVD.
You would be best capturing to a HDD, but again it would be
converting "on-the-fly" the analoque feed from the cam to MPEG.

Assuming you will be capturing a type of surveilance footage,
and portability is not an issue, such as wildlife overnight in your
garden etc. Where a cam is static recording a scene, then I
suggest you opt for a budget DV camcorder and if your PC has
a firewire port, then you can capture via what is known as
"pass through".
This is where you connect the DV cam to the firewire port and
simple software such as Windows Movie maker, or Nero or Roxio
(all are capable) will capture the footage direct to HDD, the only
limitations being the capacity of the HDD.
Once captured, you can then edit and convert to any format or
burn to DVD.

DV camcorders do the "on-the-fly" capture conversion, you just
ensure the budget DV cam you opt for has "DV In/Out"
Only those with "In/Out" are capable of "Pass through" that
being, rather than record the footage to tape loaded in the
camcorder it passes it through the firewire connection and
is recorded to your computers HDD.
If you google the key terms: DV, firewire, passthrough
you will find plenty of tutorials, or visit:
http://www.simplydv.co.uk/index.php
http://www.videohelp.com

With some searching you could pick up a budget DV camcorder
with bare facilities but with "In/Out" capabilities, for approx £100 new
or much less pre-owned:
http://audiovisual.kelkoo.co.uk/cp_1...e_mini_dv.html
(Or type in google search: mini DV camcorders)

For what I think you want to do, - continuous 8 hr capture, if direct
to DVD the compression required and the "on-the-fly" conversion
would be disasterous for quality and probably not possible.
A direct capture in high quality DV-AVI to your PC's HDD via
pass through and then edit/convert/burn is a much better option.

Like I said a bunch of thicko's who ain't got a clue.
The conversion is by the DV camcorder into DV-AVI format
and "pass through" is via firewire in the digital domain.
I'll spell it out for you thicko,
The connections won't be analog via composite or scart
The connection will be firewire - digital
The DV cam will capture footage as DV-AVI, thats digital.
The DV cam won't record to DV tape,
It will "pass through" direct to the PC's capture software as DV-AVI
Digital from start to finish.

Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.
If you ask me what proof I have for these words,
I say it is because I am the punishment of God.
If you had not committed great sins,
God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

You want long play but via the analoque capture outputs from
a camcorder direct to DVD disk - that is expecting a lot on a
budget to be able to convert "on-the-fly" an analoque input
signal direct to DVD.
You would be best capturing to a HDD, but again it would be
converting "on-the-fly" the analoque feed from the cam to MPEG.

You've got the bloody cheek to call other posters thickos, when you can't
spell analogue and you don't know how to use an apostrophe. What does that
make you?
This has little to do with me as just came across this group, but his
grammar has nothing to do with his technical knowledge. I cannot comment
either way on that, but the fact you could only pick him up on his grammar
(presumably in childish retaliation for the "thick idiots" remark, shows you
have lost any technical argument else you would have argued against the
points you disagree with. He didn't spell analogue correctly (typo I'd
guess) and missed an apostrophe - who cares!

For what it's worth my cheap (£60) and awful Philips DVDR5500 recorder does
8 hours on single layer disks. It will do over 14 hours on dual layer.

Anybody know if there's a cheap DVD recorder capable of recording
at least eight hours? It's for a video capture application where
quality isn't an issue, so a cheap analogue-only dvd recorder
from a supermarket would be fine.

Speak for your self. Camcorders record DV but the output from the
composite socket is Analogue. Like wise scart on recorders is
analogue.

Like I said a bunch of thicko's who ain't got a clue.
The conversion is by the DV camcorder into DV-AVI format
and "pass through" is via firewire in the digital domain.
I'll spell it out for you thicko,
The connections won't be analog via composite or scart
The connection will be firewire - digital
The DV cam will capture footage as DV-AVI, thats digital.
The DV cam won't record to DV tape,
It will "pass through" direct to the PC's capture software as DV-AVI
Digital from start to finish.

Not via the composite output socket or does your cam not have that.
Then again not many recorders have Firewire

But you can't tell him much.


Read the thread moron, there is NO reference to composite,
the guide is to capture direct via firewire which all DV cams have
direct to a PC via firewire. The guide is about DV pass through
from capture to a PC in the digital domain. Not to a cheap DVD
recorder. As I said thicko's without a clue...

Pot kettle black, you can't spell or punctuate. You're the ****ing moron.

I refer you to my post above. If all you can do is pick him up on
punctuation and grammar, then you have lost the argument. I've no idea who
you are or the other bloke, but from a totally unbiased point of view (as
I've only just come across this group) you are making a fool of yourself
picking him up on grammar etc and not answering the technical issues. I can
only presume you do not have enough experience in digital video, else you
would calmly argue the technical points.
