recording from tv?

Johnnyno8 — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 13:58:31 GMT

Hi all, I have had my computer for a few months not very good with computers as i have little knowledge of them, I thought that it was a shame to have a computer and not use use it to its best. So last week i decided to connect my tv to the computer, I done this and even paused live tv :smileygrin: I then tried to record a programme , It recorded but i dont know where it recorded too:smileyconfused: i tried to record to a cd but there was no menu for it to record to a cd, Can anyone give me some help on this please?
Also, it says in the booklet you can records to a cd? Could anyone advise me on what i would need and how i would go about it please.
Thanks for reading
Lisa

Hi Lisa

Are you using VAIO Zone or Gigapocket to record the TV programmes?

You can record a CD and DVDs too.
As video is very big you should consider putting it on DVD using Click2DVD

Hi Kee-lo , Thanks for the reply I have a vaio VGC-M1 and using Vaio Zone. Its a shame really as i suppose the computer would do a lot more than i use it for, I only use it for shopping and games, im just afraid of trying or clicking the wrong button and loosing everything:smileyconfused: I was gonna download songs and put onto cd,s but im not sure which is the best site to use, Have you any good sites i could use?
Thanks again for replying

Hi Lisa

Yea I think we all felt like that when we first started using PCs, your confidence will build as you learn more.

I don't have VAIO Zone, but I know it stores the MPG files on the D drive.

As for music downloads I use iTunes Music Store as it's very good for my iPod, and allows me to play it on 5 computers and lets me burn it to CD
