Record Sound on a DVD
If you would like to record a sound only on a set top DVD recorder you need to know a little trick. First of all know the difference between set top and computer DVDs.
Computer DVD recorders have been around for a long time and now can be had for under $100.00. You can write very large amounts of data or if you want to go to a lot of trouble you can do video. Most people think you can copy movies, you can but it may be illeagle and for sure it is very time consuming. I feel it just is not worth the trouble.
A set top DVD recorder will replace your VCR in the near future. The price is dropping on these new machines. At present expect to pay $300 to $700 for one of these little gems. Set top DVD recorders will follow the same course as the VCR, prices will drop as popularity grows. There are lots of advantages over a VCR, such as one read/write disc will last for about 1000 sessions, they last a life time, just two name a few.
If you want to use a set top DVD recorder as you would a VCR just read the book. If you would like to record audio only like a speech or how about 6 hours of music, you can do it. If you have satellite TV or XM Radio that has commercial free music you can record up to six hours on one DVD.
If you are recording from satellite music just hit the record button. If you want to record XM Radio or from a tape recorder then you have to go one more step. You must have a video source to feed along with the sound. This is a timing factor, the DVD recorder uses the video to time the audio. This is true also with a VCR, you must have a video source to record sound.
If you have a VCR just feed the video only into the DVD recorder. This will give you a nice blue video background. If you have a video game you can feed the video only from it. The audio that you want to record will come from the media that you have it on, such as a tape deck, XM Radio, CD player, or an AM/FM radio, whatever.
You will not see this in the manual, this is an exclusive Ajacks tip. Have Fun.
