I am getting a DVD Recorder, home theater deck [not an ODD for the comp.] The thing is, after thinking it over and doing some research [although still checking it out], I believe I can audio/in and out between the Recorder and my stereo amp. Therefore, I can send my vinyl/cassette/CD audio sources through the amp into the audio inputs of the Recorder, without all the muss and fuss of doing the same with my comp.Anyone have any practical experience with using a DVD home system Record deck to grab audio from a stereo system?

The only question that rattles around my head is if the DVD recorder can record to CDs or if it can only use DVDs. Having never looked at DVD recorders (other than DVD burners for computers), I don't know the answer. I would think it would be able to (after all, DVD burners on a computer can), but you never know. If it can record to CDs, then I don't see why not...unless it records in DVD "format" not music CD "format".If your goal is just to get it "digital" (i.e. off of vinyl) but just for use with a home stereo system, then it might not matter. But, if you want to get it into music CD format for use with car stereos and ripping to MP3, then whether or not it does music CDs, both in terms of the physical disk and the music CD format, then such things will definitely matter.

Good points, smax. I guess I have to look closer at what the deck does by way of recording formats and such. Thanks for the heads up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think I've found the way to deal with that.Burn the audio to a DVD+R or RW, then walk the disc to my comp., and burn of the disc to CD in WAV. I think I got it!!!!!!!

Space limitations, need for a pre-amp to handle the ground issue from the Fisher Studio Standard MT-6420, Y-adapters, pulling it out of my current setup, etc. etc., smax.:wink: In other words, can't happen. I just hope Audacity can do the mojo with a DVD video audio track at the comp. But even if not, I think it easier to walk a disc than to move a table/CD player/DVD player to the area I have this thing ensconsed in. Very tight quarters.

Very tight quarters.I guess that I can understand...you are correct that it is not just as simple as hooking up a turntable to the computer.I am not sure how easy it will be to get audio from a DVD, however. But, then I have not played with such things! :D
