Heh, we both recorded at the same time. :P Here's my clip (from 8:38 CT or 9:38 ET)

And I've also got that one (and all of them) sitting here on my VCR!

You still use a VCR? I thought no one used them :blink:

Yep. I still use it quite often. :yes:
It comes in quite handy for extended errors like this one was.
-
Cool. No one in my area uses VCR. They either use DVRs or DVD Recorders
-

I do, but not very often (mainly for getting recordings of TWC videos off of them, which is why I was able to provide you guys with my XL and IS v1 clips).
-
I have a VCR but I don't have a coaxial jack to fit my tuner into my VCR.

Unless you have a really funky VCR, pretty much all coaxial cables and connectors should be universal. :wacko:
BTW, this is getting a bit off-topic. Could an admin split this off into a new topic or something?
-
Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this
-
I think I am the only person here that still uses VCR's frequently to record/play things (when I don't have my tuner ready), and doesn't have a DVD recorder or DVR.

Actually, I split these posts from the Trammell Sightings thread (because it was getting off-topic). :yes:

You're not the only one. ;) :)

I didn't move this thread. I'm not even a mod/beta tester :huh:

He initially started this discussion in the Trammell Sightings thread, but Billy requested it to be split from that thread, so I did so. :yes:

I gotcha. Well, ya'll gotta watch how you word things, or if applicable how/what you move.
-
I still use a VCR and until technology gets better, I will continue to use one. I've never understood the appeal of DVRs. So it's like a VCR, but more expensive, can only be leased from your cable or satellite provider, and you can only save so much video? Um, yah, sign me up! :rolleyes: DVD recorders I like, except that if you mess up a recording, you have to start with a new disc.
-
I was posting that in the trammell sightings thread. I knew we were going off topic in that thread which is why i posted that.
-
Vic, I understand what was going on. You can shut the hell up about it now. :whistling:
-
Sorry I didn't see Stephen's post.
-
I have another question,
how come VHS recordings are typically poor in quality? DVRs have good quality but not VCRs.
-
Because VCR recordings are on analog casette tapes, whereas DVR's are digital.
I would think that would be rather self-explanatory. :blink:

Yes! That's exactly why I still use VCR's too! I wish you could record on DVD's without having to erase the data already on there, even on DVD-RW's. If you only have a DVD-R and end up recording something you didn't mean to record, you just wasted a disc! With VHS, all you have to do is simply record over it.
-
I have two VCRs...one built-in to my TV, and one exclusive to my computer's tuner.
I use my PC for HDTV recording, then dub to DVD. Same with my old game show tapes...dub from VHS to DVD.

I still use VHS.

I'll tell ya what, me and my family still got a VCR/DVD combo player at home.
-
I have the best setup, I have a Motorola DVR that has firewire which is connected to my PC. Whenever something of interest happens I just rewind and hit record on my PC. Its great because the quality is remarkable and I can record full HD!
-
To bump this topic...
I'm seriously considering getting a DVD recorder. I think I've found one that has everything I'm looking for in it, but I've never used a DVD recorder before, so I can't be completely sure.
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5622736
The price is right, and the reviews I've read seems to be pretty much positive. I may get it tomorrow.
-
OT: Walmart changed their logo? When did that happen?

A few weeks ago. :yes:

I got the DVD recorder today. It has a tuner included, but the picture is kind of blurry. It's not as sharp as the cable coming from the wall directly into the TV. I will try recording the Weekend View HD premiere tomorrow morning onto a blank DVD-R. I hope the quality will at least be better than VHS.
-
BTW, here's my crazy-enough-it-barely-works setup:

Question...why do you need two DVD players hooked up (your recorder and the player?)

Good question. I realized that the setup was too complicated, so I took the VCR and DVD player out.
-
I filled up my first DVD this morning with ~6 hours of video. Now that the disc is finalized, I can play it on my computer. I want to rip the DVD to my PC. Anyone know of any good DVD ripping software. I've searched Google, and have found a few programs, but I don't know how good any of them are. What does anyone else use?
-
I use Nero. Simple and easy to use. Need I say more? :P :twothumbs:

Maybe I should've specified... I'm looking for free DVD ripping software. :P
EDIT: Found a free/open source program called Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/)... testing it out right now.
-
Okay, this is getting frustrating. After installing this Handbrake program, I've ripped the DVD to various different video formats. I can not edit any of them in Movie Maker. :angry:
-
Why don't you ask Spring Rubber or Lightning? Both use DVD recorders
-
I've used Handbrake. I thought it was a Mac-only app. :huh:
What do you mean by formats? Extensions, or actual codecs?

Both. I've tried basically all the different combinations of file formats and codecs the program offers.
-
That's really weird. I've never had a problem with it. But then again, I used a Mac. :D
-
A shameless plug for Mac's is never far behind when Gil's around. :P :lol:

You bet :happy: :thrilled:
I care so much about people, that I can't stand to see them suffer with computers and operating systems that barely work. :P
