Internetworkers, 

I need your advice on buying a DVD recorder. Ever since I got digital
cable and the groovy hidef channels my DVR has been filling up with
shows that I now want to keep. Notably Dr. Who and Torchwood. 

My father has a dvd recording device that seems to fit the bill. It has
composite/RCA video and audio inputs, a super-video input and one other
type of input that escapes me. Possibly a USB based file input. I
hooked it up to my DVR and as able to reocrde an episode of scrubs I'd
stored on the DVR. It cannot do anything fancy. You just play the video
to the inputs and hit the reocrd button. It will let you store more
than one video clip on a DVD and then when youre don,e you click the
finish button and it finalizes the DVD and builds a very rudimentary
menu page for the clips.  

I'm tempted to just run out and get one of these because it seemend to
work. But I have heard that there are some shows that embed asignal in
them tha tells devices like this to refuse to record. Don't know if
that is true or just an urban legend. Any ideas? 

What do you use to get shows from a DVR to a burned DVD?
