I have a Philips DVD recorder player 3475. Recorded video from TIVO and cannot see it on Vaio SZ640. The message says that the video has an extension that Windows Media and Quicktime do not recognize

    I recorded pressed stop-eject and later attempted to play it on the Vaio. Don't know how to "finalize" the DVD. Can you tell me how to do it?

    Did you "finalize" the DVD in the Philips DVD recorder before using in the Vaio?

In the SetUp or Disc menu (depends on what it is called on your remote) go in and look for Disc Edit/CD(DVD)Playback and then finalize.
Choose to finalize the disc and it will close the session so nothing further can be written to the disc, thus making it playable on other DVD players.

CAN VIEW THE DVD ON A COMPUTER OR THE DVD RECORDER BUT NOT ON DVDS PLAYERS BOUGHT BEEFORE THE RECORDER

This is quite common of older players. Some only work with DVD+R discs and others with DVD-R discs.
Some player also does not read recordable discs (an early form to try prevent piracy)
Also make sure if recorded on your Recorder, that the disc is finalized before you try to play it on an older player. (See your menu / manual on the recorder for the procedure)

How to Play TS Video Files on Computer?
recorded-video-ts-computer.jpg
There are many worldwide TV channels like ABC, NBC, CBS, TNT, ESPN so that we can enjoy movies as we like. Is it possible to record TV shows? Of course, yes. You may find DVRs, TiVo Premiere to record your favorite TV series. You can also use TV tuner to record videos. PCTV nanoStick is one of the USB DVB-T TV tuners, which you may use to record ABC/TNT/ESPN videos.
If you record TNT video files on PC with PCTV nanoStick, you may find the output videos in .ts format. The TiVo Premiere can also produce .ts videos. To play the recorded videos on computer via home network, you may find the .ts file format is not a good choice. The general However, you can convert .ts to .mp4 for easy playback on computer players like Windows Media Player, VLC media player, QuickTime Player.
Here are the simple steps to convert recorded TV shows to computer for easy playback.
Step 1. Load recorded ABC/TNT/ESPN videos to Aunsoft Video Converter.
Run Aunsoft Video Converter as the TS Video Converter on your PC, and click the "Add" button to load the recorded videos for conversion.
Step 2. Choose H.264 MP4 output.
Click the "Format" option and choose Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4) to convert recorded videos from .ts to .mp4 for playing on any computer. The file format .mp4 is compatible to almost all computers, and the video compression with H.264 will keep video in high quality with small file size.

I've purchased a philips dvd videoplayer, dvp3350v/05, with the aim of being able to copy from video to dvd...having read the manual though, it reads like the only copying it will do is from dvd to...

The DVP3350V/05 is a DVD player / Video recorder combi, so will only play DVDs, not record on to them.

You will need a Philips DVDR3510V or DVDR3512V, to record from VHS to DVD.

www.cheapestelectrical.co.uk should have them in stock, if not contact them for availability.

Also, most pre-recorded VHS tapes are copy protected, so you may experience picture rolling and colour fading in & out on any copies you make.
Any VHS tapes you have recorded yourself will not have this copy protection, and will copy ok.

Playing recorded DVDs on PC or other DVD player

Recordings from your DVD recorder should play on other DVD players as long as you finalize the recording on your recorder.

A PC should recognise an un-finalized, but only in a DVD writer drive.

There is a firmware upgrade available for this model. Follow this link and select your particular country version DVDR3320/XX

See the manual, page 8:

What are “Recording modes”? for DVD-RW

a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode.
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording
or Video mode recording.
VR mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available
(SP, LP, EP, XP)
• Not playable on regular DVD players
• Recordings can be extensively edited

99.
Video mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings available
(SP, LP, EP, XP)

99.
Note :
DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for
recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by
the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience
problems playing recordable DVD discs in some players.
Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or
video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems
playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in
other players.
