Then a DVR with a USB port to record video on the external hard drive connected via USB?

Instead of writing on DVD virgin can create a *. vob file on the hard drive instead?

DVR do not usually write VOBs, they typically store in their proprietary format, or format of the video that is sent down from your cable / satellite. VOB is a specific format to DVD. PVRs are likely to use something more like MPEG-2 Transport Stream video, or MPEG-4 AVC on some new systems. Some might STORE video on an external USB hard drive. I have a Dish Network ViP 622, which records images of the video sent by satellite. on its internal hard drive. He can not save a program directly to the USB hard drive attached, but can copy from the internal hard drive externally, and will play behind the external drive. Alas, Dish Network charged me something like $ 39.95 to activate this feature, but it is at least possible. You do not have to check supplier of your DVR to see if they support the recording on USB devices, USB DVR Some ports are limited to other things .... maybe just playing back pictures of flash drives, or set of network interfaces (our TiVo Series 2 uses a USB port to enable wireless networks wire to be added). But yes, it exists in some form. My ViP 622 supports up to 750 GB external drives, they say. It's a good song video.
