is there a machine I can buy that will record steaming movies onto a dvd

Hello I'm wondering is there a machine that I can buy to steam movies that I choose onto a DVD so I can watch them on my DVD Player?

What do you mean as "st(r)eam"?

Many companies did produce stand-alone DVD recorders. But you'll get DVD quality only (576 lines), and in many cases you can't record commercial programmes.

I'm talking about the movies that you can't buy that are only available for streaming Online. I'm coming across more & more movies like that. Thanks

That machine is called a computer.

After you record the program you can burn a DVD or just watch the file. Not legal to do but quite common.
Most people don't bother since streaming media is available to watch on demand whenever you want so burning a copy that you may never watch again only makes sense if you want to give that disc to someone else.
You can use KODI to stream almost any video online. That is semi legal since you are just using KODI to aggregate links rather than record.

thanks for making me Laugh. I can see you read nothing I wrote. Did I say anything about burning? ( no I did not )

you do realize that to put anything on a dvd ... you have to burn it on?

OK. Guys - watch your language. @Cubs - putting "watch on DVD player" obviously kicked us toward "DVD burning and playing".

So, @Cubs: What kind of "DVD player" you have? Does it allow for external video source to be connected to?

The easiest solution would be to get a streaming stick like Roku, or one of myriad Android boxes. A lot depends on where you stream your movies from. Most of these boxes support Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Hulu. Some of them support HBO Online.

If you're talking about the gray places to stream videos from, I would be reluctant to give any help.
