How do I record from my T.V. using my DVD recorder? My camcorder IS plugged into the T.V. using an HDMI cable. I have the red/white/yellow cables, and I can hear sound but no picture come through.
Please help!

Ahh. I thought that you wanted to record live TV; now I understand. Of course, my next question is what make and model of DVD recorder you have, I should have asked that at first.

Is the DVD recorder in your PC or a standalone unit to record from a video source? Since that camera records to a memory card, the easiest way to burn a DVD is to take out the memory card, attach it to your PC, and copy the files to a DVD. You will get higher quality that way than having the camera convert it to an analog picture signal and then the DVD recorder convert it back to a digital signal. So if you have a DVD recorder in your PC, I would recommend that route.

I have a JVC GZ-E200BU camcorder. I have connected the HDMI cord OUT from the camcorder and IN to my T.V. I can view my videos on the T.V. this way. I am not however able to record these movies with my DVD recorder. I am just not sure how to connect my DVD recorder to my T.V. to allow me to record these movies.
