Can I copy movies off the HR24/500 to a computer and burn them to DVD for backup?

The short answer is no. The files are encrypted & locked to the specific receiver so they can't be copied. The longer answer is yes, but not exactly what you're thinking. If you have a video capture device, you could play them back and capture them as video files on a computer. There are a few video capture devices that have component input and can do this. It can't be done via any HDMI device I've seen because it would violate the copy protection rules of HDMI. Down side is you have to play the shows back to transfer them to computer via the capture device. There is no other way. Slow, cumbersome, & you can't watch anything else while playing the shows back to capture them as PC files. Yes you could do it, but its not worth the time, effort, & expense.

No, but you can do what I do, use the anydvd program to extract the movie from the DVD then convert it to mp4 and put it on a usb hard disk and play it on the player.

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

Camcorders would not work with this DVD burner on their own - you should be able to burn movies to a disc after you have transferred from the camera, to a computer. But you can't do it directly from the camera to the drive. Hope this helps!

NO! You will most defiantly need software. Operating system + Burning software or copy software of some kind. I also would recommend a different model. This one has a firmware problem that makes it very difficult to use PERIOD. Not for the general consumer usage. The one I got needed a firmware update just to get it to read properly and I never could get it to burn on media that is clearly listed as compatible on the compatibility matrix. Maybe I just got a bad one and everyone else will have better luck. Cheers!

Stacy suggest you go to the company website. They have a question and answer section. I think the only problem anyone had with it was trying to copy movies between thumb drives and DVDs.

If you can download it to your computer you should be able to. My concern would be how big the movie file is.

You can but as I recall you can only do it through the FireWire port and then when you finalize the disc you can play the movies back on a regular DVD player

Yes or DVD to VHS. Very easy to use to do that as long as you have the right DVD. They have to be DVD -R, not +R.

No I don't think so. It functions with an SD card, which is better because you can then transfer that to your computer and make dvds.

Thats two questions, yes if you use this device (which I recommend for mac, I have problems using it on my pc) you can transfer video to a dvd from your computer. the licensing problem I would answer as to say you are not technically suppose to make copies or transfer movies at all that are copyrighted. That decision is up to you.

Good question. I've never tried that. Most disc are encoded with some security so your computer will not allow you to download or copy them. I'm sure there's some stuff to download to get around that but I have no idea. If you did get around the security I'm sure you can have the entire film on your computer then of course you can do what you want with it.

It does not have a built in DVD drive so you will not be able to out of the box. You could get an external DVD drive if you really needed it.

No it cannot do that you will need to transfer them to a digital file and burn a master off you're computer. This just makes copys ; it works good although.
