Can i hook up a hdmi cable from computer to dvd

I cannot be sure, it might depend on the model of the DVD recorder, but I feel pretty sure the HDMI ports on your DVD recorder and on the PC are both outputs. Check the manual on the DVD recorder and see if they show an example of the DVD recorder connecting to something other than a TV then you might try it. The DVD recorder manual will also tell you which jacks are used for input.

Hi,
The HDMI port on your pc is an output device. That said, if your dvd recorder has an HDMI input or another input device then you can record from your pc to your dvd recorder. To do this, you will need the HDMI to A/V or anyother cable that your dvd recorder accepts as an input device. Another roundabout method would be to connect your computer to the TV which is probably already connected to your DVR for recording and record via that.
If you send your DVD recorder's model no. i can help you with exact instructions
