Vinyl Records and Cassettes Tapes in a Digital World

Maybe you still maintain a turntable, cassette deck or VCR, which you use to listen to your tunes and watch movies just as you have for decades. But it’s more likely that you’ve been staring at those piles of records and tapes and wondering if there’s some easy way to transfer them to the latest technology. You have imagined on more than one occassion how nice it would be to have your music collection or VHS tapes in a format that can play in your car, home stereo, MP3 player, iPod*, portable CD player, computer or DVD player — without having to buy them all over again.

How to play a video i recorded using my dvd player recorder?
I recorded me playing my video game on Youtube for a Lets Play and i can view the video/audio on my dvd player but when i put it on my computer it says the CD is blank but it isn't. It is viewable on my dvd but not my computer.( 10 points to best answer)
Your recorder used a format the computer doesn't recognize. You need to check the manufacturer's site to find out what format was used and then find a matching plug in for your computer.
Another option: If you have video/audio out (for connecting the recorder to a TV) and video/audio in on your computer, you may be able to play it from the recorder into your computer just like using an external CD/DVD drive.
I know this can be done on Macs, (I've done it many times with DVDs and VCR tapes) but you'll need a PC person to talk you through the set up on a PC.
