RE: Divx player, looking for a cheap one.

I got sam model in June and was happy until last night. Half way through movie picture started to break up, had to stop it and check if DVD was dirty. It wasn`t; tried again and again but DVD not now recognised in the drive. I get the following messages:- `loading` followed by `NO DISC`. Looks like it is bunched so it will be returned tomorrow evening unless someone can tell me how to fix, if firmware, firmware update etc. Yep, I tried the powere off/on exercise, left powered off for a couple of hours but no joy. Sad.

RE: Copy home movie back to HDD on Targa DVD-Recorder

Thanks leelee that certainly does make sense. I have just one more slightly related question:

Not that I would want to do this but....if my friend only has a VCR and I want to give him a copy of my HDD based movie on tape is it possible to copy back from hard disc on Targa to a VHS tape. I have done the opposite quite easily, i.e., copy from VCT to HDD.

.....and a final question: do you know of any hidden features/utilities that could be used on the Targa DVD Recorder? For example, I have used the only I`m aware of at present - Region 2 to Multi.

Thanks for help.

Copy home movie back to HDD on Targa DVD-Recorder

I have a new targa DVD-Recorder (120GB Disc). This is an excellent machine and does a superb job in a simple way. I notice that you can copy a home movie from camcorder to hard disc and then produce a DVD copy but cannot then use the DVD disc copy to regenerate the movie on hard disc (obviously the original would have been deleted prematurely for this situation to arise - but it can and does happen!!!!). Is there a way around getting the movie back on hard disk?
