I have transfered several VHS home movie tapes to my RCA standalone DVD recorder in the HQ and 2hr modes and can't seem to make backup copies in Roxio disk copier & have even tried decryter & shrink without success. What kind of format is the RCA recorder using?

it will recored either or DVD-RW(which you know it will) or DVD dash R and DVD plus R

If I use a DVD-RW in the RCA for the VHS transfers, my computer DVD drives won't recognize the Re at all. (it says there is no disk in the drive)

then you need to use the DVD dash R or the DVD plus R in you're RCA recorder instead so your PC drive will recognize it or get a new drive the works with the DVD-RW

This is driving me crazy because I have several DVDs of the kids and I can't make any backups. My computer recognizes DVD+ and - but won't make a copy. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
