message news Anybody know if there's a cheap DVD recorder capable of recording
at least eight hours? It's for a video capture application where
quality isn't an issue, so a cheap analogue-only dvd recorder
from a supermarket would be fine.

As you see from the replies, a bunch of unhelpful thicko's
who haven't got a clue.

Speak for your self. Camcorders record DV but the output from the
composite socket is Analogue. Like wise scart on recorders is
analogue.

Like I said a bunch of thicko's who ain't got a clue.
The conversion is by the DV camcorder into DV-AVI format
and "pass through" is via firewire in the digital domain.
I'll spell it out for you thicko,
The connections won't be analog via composite or scart
The connection will be firewire - digital
The DV cam will capture footage as DV-AVI, thats digital.
The DV cam won't record to DV tape,
It will "pass through" direct to the PC's capture software as DV-AVI
Digital from start to finish.

Not via the composite output socket or does your cam not have that.
Then again not many recorders have Firewire

Read the thread moron, there is NO reference to composite,
the guide is to capture direct via firewire which all DV cams have
direct to a PC via firewire. The guide is about DV pass through
from capture to a PC in the digital domain. Not to a cheap DVD
recorder. As I said thicko's without a clue...

Oh Yes There is

QuoteI wanted video-capture -- meaning capture from a composite-video
input,
which all DVD recorders have, but Freeview PVRs don't. And I'd assumed
that DVD-recorders with hard drives are expensive? I'll have to check.

Anyway, I've looked at Maplin, as you suggested, and I've stumbled across
a £70 media player/recorder and hard drive enclosure that might be
exactly what I want. I think it must have a video input since it says
that it can record from a TV. /
