I'm using a TRUTECH tt 1620 DVD recorder and a TRUTECH tt 320 DVD player.
I'm trying to copy (for the sake of the example, Darth Editus ANH edit), and everytime a copy it, the sound comes out all out of tune!
I don't know how I'm supposed to make a decent copy. I have already (because the movie is 2 hours long) picked LP, and its decent pucture quality, but the sound comes out horrible!!
What am I to do!
Is there a diffrent speed blank disc to use?
Can someone recomend a diffrent speed blank disc?
Or is it the DVD player? (i doubt it..)
or is there a problem w/ the recorder itself? (I got it Oct 28.)

PLEASE HELP!

Can you post a few seconds of your recording, so we can hear it?

I can't imagine why it might be doing this. Have you tried copying a commercial DVD (will it let you?)

This is why I like a burner in my computer instead. Direct digital copies rule.

No, It doesnt let you record commercial DVD's....
I know!
Thats why I want to get a direct DVD burner, but I won't for a while (mabe the next few months)
I just talked to my dad and he said:
This is what you get for 100$


Damn.

Well, I got my NEC DL burner for $60, and it works great (and DVD Shrink lets me copy commerical DVDs.) Standalones may be good for copying on-air TV shows, but they don't do much for actual copying/authoring of DVDs.

Hmmm....
Yeah, but no so much-

I tried copying (recording off of HBO) Clear&Present Danger, on 3 hour speed, and I got the same results.....I play it, and the sound comes OUT OF TUNE!!!!!!
Its like the action scene music is from some 60's horror movie, when its not supposed to be...................
any suggestions?
I'm going to try and pick up a pack of Sony DVD+R's......................I'm going to try those, and if that doesnt work..........well...........
well shit....I'll just get another DVD recorder, one mabe a little more decent......
200$-300$ range, or just wait for my dad to get a new computer (like I said, a few months)

But I've had a hell of a time copying Clone Wars Vol 1-2 as shown on Cartoon network ( I recorded it onto Tape, now I'm trying to transfer it to DVD, but the same out-of-tune "slow" music/ Sound fx.............................I think it could be a DVD speed
(I'm trying to copy a 16x DVD to an 8x DVD, but does that matter?)
Damn...........how am I going to do this..........I got christmas presents to make.............mabe I should just make multi-disc sets.........
It records alright on HQ (high quality) but Clone Wars is one hour ten minutes.........................so I need to go with the 2 hour speed....which also butchers the sound.................................................................................................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO FUSTRATED!

Have you managed to record anything on it yet?

Bring it back to the store I'd say...

That's no moon. It's a LaserDisc.

Yeah, but its only great quality on the 2 hour setting.
All Star Wars movies (other than ANH) are longer than 2 hours.

I know all DVD's say 2 hour recording on them, so is this the problem?

So basically, you can record fine in standard play (SP) mode, but long play (LP) screws up the audio?

Does sound to me like a faulty recorder.

Sorry man, I think you have Cyberhome - This is a problem on some of those models (crappy players and recorders) and there is a BETTER then not chance your player is a clone.

Lite-on or Pioneer is what I would suggest to record from your TV but like MBJ said grab a NEC DVD writer for your PC

I know that you've been told this before and I'm honestly not trying to be a dick here but...

YOU really should try to use Google before you post a silly question - AND you did mention Target so try this... TARGET.COM


But, to be cool and answer your question - Your local Wal-Mart has a Pioneer for about $200 and CompUSA has a Lite-On for about $170 both are fair units and should work well (and the Lite-on can be hacked to remove Macrovision and Region Codes )
