[Ham-Computers] Re DVD Recording Time

[Duane Fischer]

Dan,

Ok, what would be the typical 'nomenclature' for the six hour mode?

Am I correct that he must have the TV connected to L1 (or whatever) for TV 
and the input selector on the front on the same setting, right?

Hence, his TV would have to have output jacks for video and audio. Would 
they typically be RCA jacks or the small 1/8 inch ones?

Based on your experience Dan, what speeds have your used with acceptable 
resolution when recording a TV program?

Is there any particular type of DVD he needs to purchase? Is 8X, SL, -R 
acceptable? If not, what should he use?

Thank you very much.
