windows 10 Windows Media Player

[Guest CharlesChicarelli]

I have a DVD recorder which works well but is 12 years old and needs to be replaced: “Sony DVD Recorder model RDR-HX910”. It has a 250 GB hard disk drive now holding 150 hours of old TV shows (PAL color system) and video clips which I want to save by copying onto a new HDD to play those videos on a video monitor. This Sony recorder has outputs of: phono jacks, Video 1.0 V p-p + Audio (L-R) 2 Vrms; also S video on 4-pin mini DIN/Y: 1 Vp-p; also Digital out optical jack/ -18 dBm; also aerial coaxial output jack; and component video output.

 

My computer uses Windows 10 and Windows Media Player which is perfect for my audio system. I have a Seagate external drive with enough disk space to store all the videos but it has a USB connection.

 

Is any adapter available for converting the DVD recorder’s Video + Audio phono jack outputs to USB or HDMI for saving via WMP on the Seagate drive?

 

Or can you recommend a Media Player add-on that can do this video converting and saving and playback? I'd also consider a Media Player with a DVD recorder.

 

Thank you for any suggestions.
