Hi everyone and Merry Xmas
I hope someone can help me.
I got for Xmas a Liteon DVD Player/Recorder Model #LVW-5115GHC for my TV
I have everything hooked up, cables everywhere, TV & a VCR & a Cable Box.
I figured out finally, how to transfer a home movie from my camcorder to a
disk.
I also finally figured out how to transfer a home movie from my VHS tapes to
a disk. I have been working on it for 3 days.
My question is... I want to make dvd copies of all my home movies for each
of my 4 kids and of course for me too!
I am not sure what media to use, my player says that I can use them all.
But I don't want to do all this work and then find out that some people
won't be able to watch it on their tv.
It came with a DVD+RW blank, so I practiced on it and took it to one of my
son's and it played on his tv.
What media should I use DVD+R or DVD+RW?
Also in the manual it talks about finalizing & fomating disks, what and when
would I do that?
I also want to be able to put as many VHS tapes on one disk as I can so that
I don't have to be using a million disks.
sorry about the rambling, but just wanted to make sure that I gave as much
info as possible.
Thanks in advance and will await your replies before I buy any disks.
