The 6416 has firewire and it is active.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20814763 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:42:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20811001 CogitoSum : There is no firewire port with that particular model, nor would it likely be active if there was one. If you were to go the PC route, there are videocards capable of accepting component cable input, however. But I believe it's a rather expensive route to take. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20811001 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:06:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20808341 anon : I believe you can do it via the firewire port to a pc, then copy to dvd that way. The method used basically requires you to play the recording off the DCT and actively record it to your pc while it's playing. It's a pain but it's supposed to work. I don't have any links atm but if you google it I'm sure you'll find the info you need.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20808341 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:40:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805445 CogitoSum : Sorry. Misread your original post and thought you were trying to record HD content with your DVD recorder. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805445 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:04:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805367 ttodd0450 : edit]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805367 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:50:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805361 ttodd0450 : " That said, if you only have composite/RCA and S-Video input on your DVD recorder, you're not going to be able to record HD content as neither of those inputs are capable of doing so. "

Exactly my point in the original thread.... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805361 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:49:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805130 CogitoSum : Couldn't say. As I mentioned, the intention was once there, but given how long the devices have been on the system with those components disabled, I wouldn't hold my breath, if they are still coming out at all.

That said, if you only have composite/RCA and S-Video input on your DVD recorder, you're not going to be able to record HD content as neither of those inputs are capable of doing so. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805130 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:06:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20802316 ttodd0450 : The RCA jacks (I meant) are the Yellow (video) and red and white ( stereo left and right),, that is ( except for channel 3 coaxial) the only way to transfer, except I do have S-Video out as well when I think about this) .. the component jacks on my Liteon are for output only and do not have any input.. One day I'll upgrade to a Liteon or a device that has HDMI inputs ., But you do answer my question though in the ' one day thru firmware updates this will be feasible.., But When ??/ ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20802316 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:07:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801957 CogitoSum : The USB and other outputs do have the potential to be activated in the future through a firmware upgrade, though I couldn't tell you the status on this, or even if it's still intended (it was at one point).

As for transfering your HD recordings to your HD recorder, you definitely won't be able to do it through the three prong RCA jacks. Depending on your DVD recorder, you'll either have to use five prong component cable (typically green/blue/red video, red/white audio) or the HDMI cable directly into the DVD recorder.

Depending on the recorder, this should work without issue. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801957 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:51:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801512 ttodd0450 : I love my HD DCT 160 GB cable box with HDMI,,.
I record the HiDef titles onto the onboard HD and thoroughly enjoy the 'anamorphic widescreen' and 1080i clarity on my 46" Sony.. The movies are so clear and perfect I like to keep these titles on my 5045 Liteon DVD/HD recorder .,, BUT I find the only way to transfer the video/audio is by the the three RCA jacks out of the 3416 .. The recordings are then downsized to 480i and the quality is now ..'just analog TV, no ananmorphic, only widescreen and a big drop in resolution.
There are a number of USB and other 'type' outputs on the rear of the 3416., Is there any hope of these eventually being used for my saved recordings?? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801512 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:31:09 EDT
