I actually use the same cables for my Gamecube and N64. This might be related to the signal but I tried different settings on the recorder with no luck. I have sound but no image, or the image shows up one second and then freezes. Of course I tried my N64 directly on the TV and it works fine. Any idea why this is happening?
The GameCube and Dreamcast use legit 480i video. The N64 and earlier use a slightly different method to draw the 240 lines. This often causes TVs or recording devices to not work with Super NES or N64. I feel it's incompatibility with the DVDR and 240p. Without using a transcoder of some sort, there is nothing you can do.

What are some good 240p Dreamcast/Gamecube games? It might be worth trying those out.
