Hook up your video camera to your DVD recorder player. Then play your camera and record to your DVD player. Once you are done you have to finalize your DVD, otherwise your DVD wont play in a DVD player. I have 2 different recorders, 1 I use the menu button and follow the directions to finalize. The other I use the set up button to finalize the DVD. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions just shoot me a PM.
