DVD+ or DVD- Discs - to use later on computer?

[Julie1962]

My original question was perhaps misunderstood. The thread was locked so I reposted.

I want to record home video onto my DVD recorder (which isn't purchased yet) - I'd like to know if, after recording, perhaps in VCD format I could then put these discs into the computer drive to edit them, copy them onto a new disc and then use again in the DVD recorder.

Hope this is now clear.

Many thanks for previous advice - but my question was not clear enough so need more help.

edit them how? vcd? why not just put them on a dvd +/- disc? sorry, still unclear.

Still seems a bit ambiguous.

Anyway...I recommend you read, in depth, the following sites:

put these discs into the computer drive

what "computer drive" are you referring to?

You might want to try posting this in the general hardware forum.

This is the Off Topic forum where people such as myself have better things to do with their time but still cant resist the joys of posting on ATOT.

Welcome to the forums

you still arent coming off as making sense...almost there..try again please.

I think she may mean a standalone DVD recorder for her TV?

Either way, I don't think she knows what she's talking about and would be better off trying to research things. If you have additional questions after grasping the idea of DVD-Rs and recorders, then post coherent, understandable questions.

Julie will you be my e-girlfriend?

I think what she means is:

She wants to buy a stand-alone DVD recorder, and record her home-movies from her camcorder with this DVD recorder... Then she wants to take the disc she made, put it into the computer and do some editing...

At least that's what I think she's saying...

 

[Jetblade]

This "dvd recorder'. Is it a standalone dvd recorder, PC dvd recorder, or a built in camera dvd recorder?

I don't know if this answers your question, but in general DVD-R is more compatible for stand alone dvd players.

Your computer DVD drive shouldnt have problems reading DVD-R or DVD+R. If you want to write to both formats, make sure you get a dual format burner.
