Copy from Tivo to DVD?

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

I run it directly from the camcorder to the Tivo without recording it to MiniDV.  Most of our practices are over 2 hours long and it's a pain in the butt to remember to change out the tape plus that adds up to a lot of tapes - 10+ perweek for 30 weeks!!!

So Rick, did I tell you I bought a camcorder last season that records to a Hard Drive in 1080i High Definition? (talk about excellent picture when played in slow motion or paused) Kind of nice to be able to record 7 hours onto the camcorder at the best quality setting and transfer the files to my computer with a USB connection in seconds - Oh ya, my other extended run time battery for it is good for something like 10 hours of recording!

Mike,

That's fantastic!!  I knew you were a real stand up guy but this is above and beyond the call of duty!   I'll PM you my address.

Is this a series 2 Tivo?  Does it have VCR out's on the back of it?

You can't just hook the Tivo up to the PC AFAIK... You would need to hook the Tivo up to a router so it can get an IP address assigned to it.  Then the Tivo desktop server application should be able to "see" the Tivo unit.  Of course, you have to go into the Tivo to setup networking and all that good stuff.

I'm just not sure if any of that is enabled unless you buy a subscription.

I think getting a video card that will take a composite input and audio in would be your best bet, as I doubt they have the VCR out jacks turned off.

If you want, you can bring the Tivo by the house and I can hook it into the network and see what I can find out.  LMK.
