Can DVDs record from TV/VCR etc?

FAQs
Yes, a DVD recorder will allow you to record from the TV or VCR. DVD recorders appeared in the Australian market at the end of 2000 and are now becoming more widespread and affordable. A DVD recorder works like a VCR – it has a tuner and A/V inputs, and it can be programmed to record shows on TV. The difference is that unlike VCR, recordings on a DVD are instantly accessible and can be accessed from an onscreen menu.

Can DVD record from VCR/TV/etc?

Long answer: The minimum requirement for reproducing audio and video on DVD is an MPEG video stream and a PCM audio track. (Other streams such as Dolby Digital audio, MPEG audio, and subpicture are not necessary for the simplest case.) Basic DVD control codes are also needed. At the moment it's difficult in real time to encode the video and audio, combine them with DVD-V info, and write the whole thing to DVD. Even if you could do all this in a home recorder, it would be extremely expensive.

pxl 2000 f.a.q. by jm3
there is a single rca output jack on the back of the pxl camera, near the handle. this jack accepts a standard rca video cable. Unfortunately, because of the garage-tech wizardry going on inside the pxl, you can't just connect that cable directly to your TV. you'll need a locate a converter box that translates the pxl signal (combined audio and video over an rca cable) into a standard Coaxial 75 Ohm signal (like your cable tv input).
