FAQ #1: What’s a DVD recorder? Does DVD recorder mean the same thing as a DVD burner? That looks like more than just one FAQ, eh? Here’s the answer. No. A DVD recorder is a stand-alone unit that looks and works like a VCR while DVD burner is a unit that is either an external add-on or internal DVD drive for a personal computer. A DVD burner can record video, read and write computer data and store them in a blank DVD disk. That’s something a DVD recorder cannot do. However, a DVD recorder can record video from video sources in real time directly to a blank DVD disk. That’s one DVD recorder FAQ… only one million more to go… FAQ #2: : If you’re thinking about copying commercial DVD movies, can your DVD recorder copy it?
