When i tag 1 or several files on the hdd to transfer to blank dvd, then go to record, the icon in bottom right corner comes up then goes away as if completed, but happens within 1minute, which is in noway accurate. Nothing has been written to the blank dvd. Philips techs say i have to send unit in. Have you seen this online?
I have the same problem. When I select a file to record to dvd the icon shows up for about 1 min or less and then goes away without recording. I have tried several different types of dvds.I have the same problem. When I select a file to record to dvd the icon shows up for about 1 min or less and then goes away without recording.

Yes, I now have this same problem. I used to have no problem recording dvd's from stored programs ont the HDD. I also think that the, DVD player doesn't work. I assume that the hole DVD recorder is defective. I have has the unit (DVDR3455H) for less than two years. I'm a bit bothered and I consider this an early failure.Yes, I now have this same problem.

Same problem recording. It stopped working on RW dvd's first. I was able to do a couple more R+ dvd's then that stopped working too. Seems like everyone's units stopped at about 2 years of age? That's my situation too.Same problem recording. It stopped working on RW dvd's first. I was able to do a couple more R+ dvd's then that stopped working too.

I was having the same problem if I used DVD+R blanks, but the programs would record fine if I used Memorex DVD+RW rewritables. Until today, that is - now it won't let me burn anything from the HDD to a disk! My 3455H is about two years old.
Gotta say I'm quite disappointed with it, and would never consider another Philips product. :(

The dvd recorder uses the video signal to detect, thus it will not detect the audio as a signal. I believe there are "boxes" you link in somehow to "fool" the dvd into thinking it's recieving a video signal, but I don't know where to get them.
Only use one of the disc types that is listed in the manual that they have actually tested on unit. If the HDD recordings were made in HQ mode, then you will only be able to fit a one-hour or less recording on a DVD. You cannot reverse this at this point. For future HDD recordings, set the record mode to 4hr or higher.
The REC Mode of the recordings was set so high that there is not enough space on the DVD to make a recording. Cannot change at this point. For future recordings, switch to LSP or some other non-quality mode.
I had a few problems with my philips 3450 - I downloaded the latest software upgrade at www.philips.com/support , and my issues were resolved. Worth a shot...
Only other thing I can think of is you may have a faulty batch of DVD-Rs?
Had the same problem on my 6month old 3440H, its the degradation of the cheap Asatech Chinese DVD drive that is the source of the problem. . My 3440H HDD to DVD transfer sequentially degraded, It stopped recording DVD+ and -R's then on RW's it sometimes performed and some not.I gave up using cheap DVD's then with higher quality disks it would frequently report task completed but then would not plaback or freeze in the way you describe. I bought the DVDR from the CO-OP Xmas 2006. Co-op no longer support electricals so when it went wrong Co-op gave me a service centre to take it to. Long story short Philips dont recognise the service centre and they declared my warrany void. Tried to re-engage with Philips but they basically were not interested in supporting their product..
Not an elegant fix but since Phillips were useless, I opened the box nothing ....to lose ..I now run it on a bare external Sony DVD drive using extended ribbon and power cables as its a bit tricky to find space in the box to mount the drive.

When you recorded your "footage" was the dvd recorder set to 2hr (sp), 2.5hr (spp), or 3hr (LP), etc.?Because for example, you downloaded (recorded to your hdd)your "footage" that is say 3hrs long, and your recorder is set to record at 2hrs mode(sp), then when you put a blank dvd in recorder to transfer from hdd to blank dvd, the 3hrs of your "footage" has been recorded in 2hr mode on your hdd, and will only record in 2hr mode onto your blank dvd. Solution is to set your recorder to the record mode in which your "footage" length is. For example, if your "footage" length is 3hrs, set your recorder mode to LP then when you insert your blank dvd should be okay. Or, set your recorder mode to 2hr (sp) and make two recordings of your "footage" onto hdd, splitting them up: 2hr on one, and 1hr on the other.When you burn to blank dvd you will have to have 2 blank dvds, one for 2hrs, the other for 1hr. I had to same thing happen to me. I hope this works for ya.

Mine stopped burning dvdrs from the hard drive right at two years of age also. I've burned less than 50 discs since I've had it. Design flaw.
