Any DVD can store it. Data is data. No matter what it came off. But chances are you will need to use a compression tool to make it fit if it's larger than the DVD.

These are not rewritable. For that you should get a DVD labeled +RW. On the +R you can add new material at the end if the disk is not full and it has not been finalized.

Hello D., these are writable discs only. You cannot write over the data once it is burned onto the disc. So they are great for things like copying vhs to dvd

You would have to convert the video to an appropriate format to be written to a standard DVD. They won't "play" if simply burned to a DVD. There are many freeware applications out there that should be able to do this.

Actually I purchased the DVD for my brother who lives in other country and took the DVD player with him. We put USB drives and Data DVD's with videos in AVI format, and played them without difficult. Probably some videos were in another format but I don't remember, the fact is that all the videos in the media were played. I don't think it would be able to read video formats from camcorders or Digital cameras without conversion to playable formats.

You wont see any videos on the sd card. Just double click on the video player to open it and you will see a list of all the videos. Then you can save any directly to your pc.

Yes they will open with Media player. I use Windows Movie Maker (which is free) to edit the videos. It is very easy to use and allows you to cut out parts you don't like and easily add titles.

To answer your question informatively, yes. In the system settings there is an option to overwrite last night's videos(for example). And if you say no. It will keep them until eventually your SD card runs out of memory. Also if you are curious whether this deletes other content inside the SD card besides the videos, the answer is no. The system makes a folder named "Videos" and only affects that folder. All other contents are left unchanged/unaltered. So you have no worries.

You can leave videos on the SD card. Then insert another empty SD card in slot. Save videos on the new card, and repeat with as many SD cards you want. Be sure you at least label each card in an envelope or some other container, with the videos/dates on it.

I have a high speed hd card. But if you dont mind lower quality videos you can use any sd card. Mine was under 20 I believe and holds a ridiculous amount of pictures.

Yes, these record on mini-dv tapes. They also have a slot for an sd-card. Quality and legnth of recording seem better on the tape.

You can view the videos on the device's screen or using an SD card reader and uploading them to your computer. So, I guess the answer to your question is: without using either of those two methods, you can't. The easy solution, of course, its to buy a $2 SD card reader, or just use the device's screen.

No !! they take mini Dv tapes who are very outdated and were always expensive. I have a ton of footage of my familyusing mini dv tapes. I need to tranfer them to a regular dvd so they can last longer. Im not sure how long those mini dv tapes will last.

You should be able to burn the pictures to these DVD-R's and others should be able to copy them and view them as they wish. Of course, you could prevent that if needed, but that isn't what you asked. I've successfully burned many pictures to these for later use and sharing, without problems. Most of my pictures are less than 200 kb in size or less, so one DVD-R holds a LOT of pictures, too. These hold a lot more than a CD-R would.

Purely self promotional. Video demands that the SD card be capable of FAST recording data rates. Get a Class 6 SD card (class 4 as a minimum) and you will be very happy. I would recommend 16GBs as a minimum capacity. To the best of my knowledge Memory sticks are only available in the base class 2 speed, hence they really cannot be better than SD cards for video.

If your videos are DRM-protected (e.g., any of Amazon's digital movies/TV shows, or the free digital copy movies that sometimes come with a purchased DVD), you have to save it to the player itself for it to run. The SD card does not have the DRM controls that will allow it to run. I finally broke down and bought the 32GB zen a week ago for that very reason.

I don't know what that is, but probably not. I do however, think that regular DVDs can be made...I just haven't had use for that particular thing. I'm sure it's in the description.

>>One thing I've found is that you need a >>"Video Enhancer" to attach to your unit.No you don't. I was able to dub commercially-released video tapes to DVD using this unit and no other hardware.

Agree wholeheartedly... No ability to save videos to your own storage is a deal breaker.
