DSR-11 to DVD Recorder problem

[Tony Wade]

(I hope this is the right place to ask this)

Hi Y'all,
Good summer? UK had the wettest summer in 100 years. Oh well, I'm off to Rhodes, Greece at the end of the month.

I'm trying to record mini-dv NTSC tapes from my DSR-11 machine to an NTSC video SONY dvd recorder, and I get 'Copy protected, won't record' notice.
The tapes are NOT copy protected.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony, Good to hear from you !!
Going to Greece for fun or profit, or both?
No matter, should be a great trip.

Can you not capture the DV Tapes to your computer and then to DVD?

[Tony Wade]

Just for fun Chuck. Pure fun in the sun!

Yes I can and have captured to PE3 etc, but I just needed straight dubs. It takes forever going through the computer.

Are you using the Firewire connection to connect to the DVD Recorder? I've heard of similar things happening with the s-video and composite video connections -- don't know if that's the problem here, I'm not sure those occurred with Sony equipment.

Actually, I'm using AV connections. It must be a quirk with those particulaer tapes, as it's working with a different set of tapes right now.
Oh well, I had to go through PE3 and it takes forever just to burn a dvd copy.
Thanks guys.
Have a great Fall.
Tony
