Does anyone know how to record from dvr to dvd - and explain it please in basic english?
Please and thankyou!

In my system (which is not based on a Motorola dvr), the dvr unit has analog outputs (left/right audio, and composite & s-video for video) which can be connected to a recording device. There is an option in the dvr activated via the remote which tells it to "copy to vcr". This causes the selected previously recorded program to be run out to whatever device is connected to the outputs mentioned above. The connected device could also be most any device which has these type inputs - a standalone dvd recorder, or even a capture device connected to a computer. I've tested this using a super vhs vcr via the s-video connectors and left/right analog audio and it works just fine.
So - start by checking out your dvr unit to see what connectors and options are available to you.
