Home audio & video forum: Blu Ray DVR & Blu Ray Player In One Unit ?

I'm not sure i going to answer your question in its entirety, but here goes.
I have the LG BD390, it is not a "BURNER" but can play everything from BD-ROM,AVCHD,DVD+/-R DVD+RW,Dual DVD+R, CD's as well as CD-RW. Also plays AVCHD if the DVD is formatted that way.Also includes a USB port in front of the unit. You can record using this USB port to your HD camera since you have one, but as i said the LG BD390 cannot burn.
It can also be networked which i have done so i can play a movie on my home computer and view it in the living room or do instant streaming from Blockbuster.

Does have HDMI as you mention, NO FIREWIRE

USB for HardDrive

Firewire for tapes, not on HD camcorders that use HardDrives, although the older camcorders do have firewire that provide HD or standard Definitions.

If you want your entire punch list covered, you will need to build your own PC. No standalone device will be able to systematically handle such minutia. OTOH, with the right hardware/software, it's possible to do 99% of it via a DIY rig.

Some folks have asked here if there was a standalone DVR which was not connected to either a cable or satellite company/contract. Well, yesterday I saw a Channel Master standalone DVR, which supposedly picks up OTA HD content (etc.) and has a halfway decent GUI for an HDTV. I was intrigued until I saw the price. Most folks looking for such an item will probably balk at the $399 price tag, but considering you would avoid monthly fees, perhaps there's a sliver of a market for such a product(?) This is the model:
