To power the unit, you must plug two "pigtail" USB plugs into a computer. I don't think it could really be used on much else since the software has to be compatible.

Yes, it does work. If I had it to do again, I probably would buy a cheap dvd player to go with a tv. But that's just me. So far it has worked fine and I play a lot of dvds.

No.. it does not have a DVD player, you'd have to buy an external USB DVD player.

No it cannot be hooked directly to a PC; you will need a special adapter. It can be hooked to a VCR.

No, it does not work without the video input. This is a result of my experiment. You may want to contact the vendor to confirm.

Yes. I can't remember if we just plugged it in and it worked or if we downloaded it online, but it works. We bought this BECAUSE our daughter's laptop didn't have a dvd drive and it works great with it.

It is not "exactly" designed to help with that because no VCR is involved. BUT you never know. To find out on your own, you would have to buy it first! I would suggest first contacting the seller [or manufacturer] through Amazon. That way you should be able to find out before purchasing.Good luck,MR

Disk playback works just fine without an Internet connection. I use mine that way most of the time, but the streaming video features that this player also offers, such as Netflix, will require an Internet connection. The disk player detects, through its HDMI connection, if the TV set has been turned off and it will turn itself off. It will also eventually turn itself off if it is not being used, but mine has never turned itself off while I was watching a DVD movie.

I have used it on Windows 8 on my PC and it works great. I use a DVD/VHS machine and been converting my VHS stuff to DVD. The only thing that gave me any trouble was a 2 hour movie. I need to re-try that, but anything up to an hour has worked fine.

No computer needed. This device is all inclusive with its own recording and storage software. I would suggest a bigger memory card for video storage though. You do not need internet if you are do not need to view from remote location.

A very interesting question..I just tried it and the answer is YES. This item will scan and print without a computer hookup.

The television is simply a visual output device. The DVD recorder and the VCR can care less if a tv is hooked up. I've done many a VCR to DVD transfer. Once I made sure I had everything set right I hit play on the VCR and record on the DVD. Then I turned my tv off and went about my daily routine :)

It doesn't have a DVD player, but we got around this by purchasing an external USB DVD/CD player from Amazon for under $20.00. Both the computer and the DVD player work excellently - we are very happy with our purchases.

Yes it doesn't need the computer to work. I was able to turn on the device and print labels without ever connecting it to the computer.
