About a DVD/Video Recorder?

My Christmas present was a DVD/Video recorder and I was delighted because I have lots of videos that I want to convert to dvds. There might be five mins on one video and half an hour on another, so, I thought I'd edit them and get all the footage together . I am disgusted to find that I cannot edit with this machine. It seems that once you record on a dvd, that's it! If my recording is five mins or two hours long, it can only be done once. There is no pause button and I cannot record individual tracks from different videos onto the same dvd. I'm not talking about dvd-r's, mine are rw but it makes no difference. I can record OVER my footage but cannot record ONTO it, it seems. Does anyone know a way I can do this? Someone told me I can edit on my pc but I don't have a dvd burner so that's not my solution. I'd appreciate help with this problem.

I think editing on your computer is the only way. DVD burners have gotten really cheap. You can now pick one up for around $30 (try Newegg). They usually include a bare bones version of Nero burning software. You'll also need some sort of video editing software. The Nero suite (around $70) is considered pretty good, but I like VideoRedoPlus ($30), which supports very fast editing. Both have free trial versions so you can try them out first.
