How to transfer recorded TV to your laptop
Easily make any dorm room, bedroom, or office a powerful media room. Add a TV tuner to your laptop and your entertainment experience—including watching, pausing, rewinding, and recording live TV—is complete. Or, burn content from your PC to a DVD to play on your laptop.
How to burn recorded TV shows and video clips to a DVD to play in your laptop:
You can burn recorded TV shows or other video files that appear in your media library in Windows Media Center to a DVD that you can play in a DVD player or on your computer.
When you burn video files to a DVD, the files are converted so that you can play them in a standard DVD player. Burning a TV show to a DVD can take a longer amount of time—the time it takes to burn a TV show to a DVD depends on different factors: the length of the added video files, your computer system resources, and the speed of your DVD burner.
