The HDi-250 records to its internal hard drive, then makes a DVD from the files you select.
It records to the hard disk drive (HDD), then you make a dvd from that or from several files.

How Long Does It Take to Make a DVD disc?
BCD's Dual Stream recording makes HD and SD files simultaneously.  For a 1-hour program, the SD file takes 3 minutes to make a DVD-Video disc.  The HD fileburns in about 9 minutes..

To make a DVD-Video disc, first put a blank DVD disc (+R, -R, or +RW) into the machine

Recording Setup: Press the Menu key and see the Main Menu

MainMenuArrow down to select the file format .VOB. Press Enter and see
the "+" sign, indicating that you have selected .vob files suitable for DVD.
Alternately, choose DualStream for MPEG-2/MP4 and VOB files simultaneously.

Some military customers prefer Slot-Load drives because the users cannot break the DVD tray.
(We prefer the Standard drives because we think they last longer.)
For security on "-Mil" units, files in RAM disappear when the unit is turned off.
Files with "-Mil" are recorded to RAM and then can be copied to Optical Disc as files, or converted to DVD-Video.
Files recorded directly to +RW Optical are as MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 only, not as DVD-Video files
