so recently i just got this datavideo DN-200 for quite cheap, i was modified it to using a L batteries so i can take it anywhere in my bag, my few questions is, is it able to record in DVCPRO ? i tried using my HVX200 through FireWire, yeah it does record but I can't play it on VCR mode on tape mode, i think it able to record to DVCPRO because i saw the image products in google on the LCD says DVCPROn, I can't find the option on the DN itself, and the other questions is on my PD-170 I can't record using the REC trigger on my PD, i did everything like tape to sync mode, etc but still, i don't want to use gpi trigger because too much cable around.
 
i think DN-200 is my best investment for me, i got many handycam around to digitize tapes, record everything without losing too much quality through analog input
 
The manual says that through the DN-200's Firewire port, it can record DV, HDV, and embedded TC. So not DVCPRO, but as a file (rather than a tape), for all intents and purposes, basically equivalent. Perhaps a firmware update changed a few things?

At any rate, did you see the DN-200 manual on the Full Compass website? Might be some answers for you there: https://www.fullcompass.com/common/files/14547-UserManual.
the latest firmware on datavideo site was unavailable unfortunately, i wouldn't mind to record on the tape mode and then 16:9 aspect ratio, maybe i can go higher resolution on tape mode ?
