Dear John, Thanks for your question – you don’t mention which DVD recorder you have, but the vast majority of them have AV inputs on the front that look like a red, white and yellow socket. Yellow carries video and Red and White carry Right and Left Stereo sound. Without knowing your model, I would guess that your Hi-8 camcorder should have an "AV out" socket, which would be a mini-jack – come to think of it, your Hi-8 Camcorder may even come with the AV-out cable that you have used to view footage on your TV. I should mention that this method works with most camcorders with an analogue AV-out. Turn on your camcorder and press play, plug the connections you’d normally put in your TV in your DVD recorders “AV IN”, select the channel on your DVD recorder (It might be called AV3), and you should see your footage on your telly. When you get to the part you want to copy, hit record on your DVD recorder, and that should do the trick. Good luck! LJ

Hi Ted, There has been a lot of talk about trying to connect T'internet with Television, and consumers are moving toward that trend. I (and others) reckon that "moveable media" will be big in 2008. Your TV and wireless network should support streaming video, photo and audio from your PC - If you’re hell-bent on an Apple interface, then the answer for you would probably be the Apple TV which should give you what you’re after. Price around £199 for 40GB. However, Archos have just come out with the Archos TV+ (the launch was yesterday, so you’re among the first to know!). There’s a lot of functionality including the ability to record video in both directions, i.e. from your telly to your Archos box/PC as well as the other way round. Price around £179 for 80GB here. Both products are wi-fi friendly, come with a remote control, and sit under your telly.
