In order to do this, you will need some special equipment that will allow you to connect the two and capture the video signal as it’s being played.įor most non-technical users, one of the easiest methods that I have found is to purchase a video transfer “kit” that includes the cables, converter box and recording software in one package.
Typically, DVRs have standard RCA output jacks (coded as red and white for the left and right audio channels and yellow for the video channel) or S-Video jacks that would allow you to transfer the recorded shows from the DVR to your computer.
Your exact DVR and PC will determine the options available to you, so checking with your supplier or manufacturer is a good first step (TiVo has the TivoToGo option for instance, while some PCs come equipped with special video cards and software designed to connect to any video signal.) Since what is recorded is digital, it can be transferred and copied in numerous ways without the traditional loss of quality that occurred when making copies of analog video tapes. The range of options include stand alone systems, such as the TiVo, to DVRs that are built into cable and satellite tuner boxes that can record exponentially more programming than our old 6 hour VCR tapes. The Digital Video Recorder (DVR) has replaced the VCR as the de facto standard for most households that want to record television programming. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting. This question was answered on January 11, 2008. Is there a way to download a recorded program from a DVR to a PC or laptop which would then possibly be burned on to a DVD for permanent storage?
