I hooked up a Sony dbl side DVD burner to my Insignia D400 and I am having problems with the video whenever I try to record a music show or concert. The speed of the video is faster than the music. It looks like something out of the silent movie times. My CPU is a Pentium 4 2.80GHz 512Mb. Do I need to buy a more powerful CPU or just a better video card?

try burning the dvd's at a lower speed, most of the dbl layer drives have similar type of problems.

This is just one of those problems that come associated with this type of camcorder. Try recovering the data by downloading the program at the following link and trying to fix this problem with it. Please let me know how this goes and if it doesn't work let me know as I would be glad to keep trying to get this fixed. I don't believe you did anything wrong but I would call Sony about this and see if they have any new suggestions for this. Personally I would return the player since the quality isn't as good as other cameras.

good luck

Try checking the right audio cable because the music comes through on the right and the narration comes out on the left. Try unplugging and replugging the red audio cable. If that dosent not work try another cable. PS: If I have helped you please say "yes" to the question bellow

Bought a new Sony DVD recorder/player with VHS.

Connect your rabbit ears to the Insignia. Connect the Insignia to the antenna input on the "cvd/vcr combo". Now turn on the television to show the "cvd/vcr combo".

The Insignia simply goes between your antenna and your television. In your case you also have a vcr so if you want the VCR to be able to play and record digital stations you will need the Insignia between the vcr and the antenna.

i'm assuming you have a vcr to play your vhs tapes, just plug your audio/video cord from your vcr(out), plug into the audio/video vc10(in), start playing vcr and press rec botton whenever you want to start to record. make sure you can only use dvd+r. choose the quality for the length of time, at the end press 'function' to finalize the disc, then you are done.

guys hope you all found the solution like me who had same issue. if you noticed, it says about the aspect ratio and that means the formated disc aspect ratio is not compatible with the aspect ratio your camera need. so re-formating the dvd with right aspect ratio solved the problem quickly and we have peace.

could be cause there is a copy write protect on the vhs

the dvd writer needs to be replaced,the laser is faulty or miisaligned, the cost of a repair is no longer viable because a new one would cost about $60 (£32.00)
