Hello - I apologize if this has been asked already...I tried a search and was unable to find anything adressing this specifically. I am thinking about picking up the Cox DVR to save me from searching for blank media for the set top DVD recorder every time I want to record something....plus not be limited to only a few hours of recording time without changing out discs.
I have recently started playing with video on my PC, and I find it much easier to deal with video on there as far as any editing etc before burning, since my set top DVD recorder doesn't have a hard drive where I can edit out commercials etc.
The Cox site says I can record from the DVR to a VCR so I can save shows or movies I want....so I was wondering if there was a way I could record from the DVR to my PC so I can edit and record to DVD from there?
I'm thinking of picking up something like the Plextor ConvertX PX-M402U to transfer from the DVR to my computer. Is this even the sort of thing I should be looking at, or is there something out there that would be better?
Sorry for all the questions....I've only just barely gotten used to the DVD recorder, so I'm new at dealing with all of this. Any help, ideas, suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
