How do I create DVD from video recorder?

[milkeybar kid]

Our video player does not copy onto DVD.

I have successfully converted from analogue camcorder to DVD using a pinacle converter.

So now using the video player (instead of camcorder) do I plug into yellow video and white audio and proceed as I did before with camcorder?

Confusion because camcorder used just one plug that says video/audio.

2nd question please.

I burned successfully using camcorder live to DVD+RW using the converter.

There is still space left on the DVD so if I burnt/transferred again would it scrub off whats already there?

OR

Perhaps I should have saved it directly as a file on the computer and only then transferred it to DVD+W , so I could then repeat the process untill DVD was full Advice would be appreciated, thank you in anticipation.

Thanks for the link . I am a bit hazy re adding to the DVD+RW .

Can you add to it or is it a case of every time you burn live to it it scrubs the first one off.

Has anyone actually done this.

You can just add to it. The simplest way is to think of it as a giant floppy disk. I copied mine down to a hard drive then use a media extender to watch it on my TV.
