If you have a PC based DVR (like Beyond TV) then all you need is the DVD burning software like MyDVD

Unfortunately I have the DVR provided by Time Warner Cable. I do not have TiVO. I haven't found any information that gives a person with no concept of this stuff instructions on how to do it.

I have an iMac with iDVD and iMovie.

My roomie has a TIVO and while I love the convenience of it, I really miss being able to record programs on my DVD-R (I have a Panasonic DVD-R). In fact, I gave her one, but when Comcast came and set her up, they would not hook up the DVD-R. The damn TIVO has no outputs beyond what goes in the TV, which is a real pain. Maybe I should swap out the VHS? Anyone have thoughts?

My roomie said there is some thing having to do with comcast that we can't record the stuff in the 500's channels (which if true, can't be, that's TCM). Right now I'm just reluctant to pull eveyrthing out and figure out the hook ups

However, you can use a video capture card or USB video capture device to record the show in real-time from the DVR and capture it to a video file on your computer (I've done this).

The other option is to buy a DVD recorder and hook it up to the video out.

Thanks. I used Google too. That statement really doesn't help me much. I started a new thread in Egg Head so as not to continue to derail this one more.
