Solved! Recording on to DVD from HDMI input from laptop to TV

[cmogde]

HI all. I need to record something from my laptop, which I can hook to my TV through an HDMI cable. But the DVD input has no HDMI - only AV. Is there any way I could get round this? I'd be so grateful for your clever answers!

Not clear. Which box is doing the recording again? and which box is doing the playing?

Why not just use a screen recording software like camtasia?

Hi. I would be recording with my Toshiba dvd recorder from my laptop, which I can view through my TV via an HDMI cable. I know one post said record direct with dvd hooked to laptop but my dvd recorder doesn't seem to have HDMI input socket

If DVD has a DVI socket will work, DVI is just HDMI without audio, and u just need the proper cable.

But u already know the answer, what laptop puts out, video-wise must be accepted by DVD recorder.

Your last option maybe a HDMI to (whatever your DVD can take in) converter.
