Hi Guys, does anyone know if the firewire port on the DVRHD04 can be feed from a computer (not a camera)?
Thanks,
iojan

You probably will NEVER see a DVD recorder take PC input over firewire. Thank the RIAA and MPAA.
Now, software that can output a DV signal from the PC would be the ticket -
I not sure but proabbly a pro deck can and not sure but may have read about some of the high end Pioneer or Panasonic may....

My memory is a little spotty, but I believe I saw on the AVSForums a user who had gotten output from his PC to his JVC DVD recorder via firewire (don't remember the model but I think it was the non-hard drive one) by using the print to tape of either Premiere or Vegas.
He may have had his camcorder connected to the PC as the same time to trick the recorder into thinking it was getting the output from it instead of the PC. As I said my memory is spotty but I'm pretty sure I read this there and also some had done something similar with their Pioneer recorder. YMMV -
I have been experimenting with the DVRHD04 unit for the last 1 week. My test is to use an old VHS home video that contains good to poor video and sound with echo (it's taped in a hall), and video breaks. The tape is about 3.5 hours long. During the 2.5 hour mark, the recorded program starts introducing lot of echo. Each work can echo upto 1-2 seconds making sound totally useless. The tape does not have this kind of issue. Also there is no video break at the point when the echo gets introduced. I tried updating the firmware to 1191 (came with 1185). My unit is October 2004 build. I have contacted Ilo support and waiting for their second/third level support. I tried recording on both the hard drive and the included dvd+r.
Anyone have similar issues? -
foruriionly;
I haven't had this problem yet. My recordings thus far have been slightly over 1 hour with no problems. I do know that if you monitor the input on a tv, the recorder itself has a slight lag from input to output that sounds like an echo, but I haven't observed an echo in any recordings.
