What is the difference between a DVD player & a DVD recorder?
Tramadol asked:
Im about to buy a DVD but it says there are DVD players & recorders, can u still watch dvd’s on dvd recorders? whats better pruchasing dvd player or recorder? thanks.
the dvd recorder means that you can record the tv to a dvd but a player by itself means that you can only watch dvds
Dvd recorder can record movies and player only plays them
You can watch DVDs on either, but only record (like a video recorder) on a DVD recorder.
Yes you can watch dvds on a dvd recorder!!! You can record things on your dvd but not on a normal dvd player.
Go for the DVD recorder
One plays DVD’s and the other plays and records from TV?cable/satellite.
DVD recorder will do both jobs.
wot Dale-Jaime M said.
errr……. for real… !
ok.
you can record & play on a recorder but you can only play on a player.
dvd player is when u watch dvds on it…. but a dvd recorder is when you record stuff
A Dvd player will just PLAY dvd’s.
On a recorder you can watch your dvd’s you’ve bought or buy blank discs and record stuff off the tv.
I had a dvd recorder, it broke after a lot of use, it was good for recording from a video camera too.
dvd players only play dvds, recorders you can watch or record from the tv
DVD recorders will still let you watch DVDs but a standard DVD player won’t let you record.
take time to read your question well…. there you go,you got the answer!
1. they both play dvd’s
2. a dvd player will be better quality for the money (eg. youd have to pay more for a recorder of the same quality)
3. I’d purchase a recorder, as its handy – like a modern day VCR theres now the option of HD, but a HD recorder is expensive!
all in all its what you want at the end of day. check for the cheapest deals
the dvd recorder is just like the video recorder play and record if u read the box it will tell u what u can do
A player will only play back a DVD. A recorder should record AND play back. I’ve never heard of and suspect that there isn’t a machine which will ONLY record – what would be the point? How could you check it had recorded properly if you couldn’t play it back?
well, both can play dvd’s jst the same. a normal DVD player will jst play dvds, cds an such. A dvd recorder can do the same as a normal DVD player but also copy dvds for u,,u can watch something on TV an record it to the dvd so u can view it later. The better choice is a dvd recorder as it has more options with it and if u ever need to record something u can do so. If u dunt record much off tv den a VCR wud be fine thats if u have one..if not den maby the recorder is a better option for you. Price wise i think there iz big difference buh im sure it has dropped or soon while because of the new exciting blue ray which has come out.
…apart from what’s previously been stated
Price – recorders are a lot more expensive.
one dose not record,best buy a DVD record
that is hdmi capable,look on EBay to give you ideas.
Cost £178
dvd “player” only plays dvds while a dvd “recorder” records television onto a dvd disc
recorders better
How much time have you got so that I can give you all the technical details?
DVD player: can only play DVDs.
DVD recorder can record onto DVDs & also play DVDs.
Yeah the DVD recorder would be better if you can find one quite cheap. Also you sometimes get built in freeview with some DVD recorders so altogether a DVD recorder would be a better purchase. Try and find one with divx then you can download films from the internet, burn them to DVD then watch them on your main TV.
They are going out of fashion anyway better off getting a DVD recorder/ player
