I don't read much on the other parts of the forum, so I thought I would post this here.
I was wondering if I could record HD programming on a DVD-R disc, or does this require a special disc?
I have an HD DVR that I am saving some programming on and I would like to transfer some to a disc to free up space on the DVR.
HELP!!

Thanks for your help,

You can't record HD onto DVD-R, because the DVD format's resolution is only 480i. The only way to get data off an HD DVR while preserving the HD resolution is to transfer to a computer hard drive, and you'll still need some way to handle viewing it (probably by transferring it back onto the HD DVR).

Thanks Gonk.
Is there such thing as a HD DVD burner for computers? Or is this what the whole BlueRay thing is all about?
Thanks for taking the time,

Nope. I see it's still too new. I'll have to look into an external hardrive to store the HD media and just move them back and forth as neede.

There are Blu-ray recorders on the market, but they may only be available in Japan still. I don't recall seeing HD-DVD recorder drives yet, although the format supports it. Media for either will be expensive for the forseeable future and software support is still not there yet. I think a hard drive is your best bet at this point.
