Interesting . . .

I don't see why you couldn't take a feed from the camera, while recording to tape, on to a Set Top Box DVD Recorder too? It is the pausing bit that worries me? Eh . . . as I haven't done any DVD recordings I wouldn't like to advise further than my speculation. Do these DVD Rec devices allow for Pause like the ole VCR recorders of yore?

Grazie

well, i don't know if i'd do it on a paying gig, but i often stop my sony standalone dvd recorder to skip ads...

opps, i mean 'pause' - if i stop and start it takes a few seconds, pause is almost instant....

With a set-top burner, you could pause (stop) but that will create a separate "title". In playback, it may depend on the player as to how the separate title is handled (whether it proceeds to play it without manual intervention).

Thanks for your input. It's the "pause" part that has us worried, too. We burn 1200 to 1500 DVDs a year, but always as continuous burns.

Leslie, I'll look into the Sony stand alone and see what it looks like. We're doing this for legal depositions, where the attorney of record wants to take a DVD back to his office with him. Unless we can pause the DVD recording when the attorneys go "off-record" I haven't figured out how to deliver this.

Recording to a set-top DVD recorder should fill the bill. You can leave the camera on and just stop the recorder when there is a pause to go off the record. You will have a series of "Titles" that can be accessed by menu or they may play continuously, depending on the player used.
