Dvd recorders

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a website or advise me a little further about DVD
recorders please. Main point I want to know is how many times can you record
and re-record on DVD RW discs before they become unusable as was thinking of
replacing my video player with DVD recorder so would be recording of tv
reguallary then rerecording over the disc. Can you put the DVD recorder on
timer like you can a video player. Help!!!!

Cheers Nick

www.dvdrhelp.com is a good starting point. Yes, you can put a DVD recorder
on a timer. RW discs are said to be good for about 1,000 uses. But the
quality varies greatly depending on the brand and type, so take that with a
very large grain of salt.

====================
DVD-RW should be useable for many re-writes.

I purchased a Panasonic DMR-HS2PP that also has a hard drive.
It does DVD-R and DVD-RAM (no RW).

The hard disc is fantastic for time shifting HDTV shows.
It indeed has a timer.

Do yourself a BIG favor and take a look at the Panasonic units that use DVD-R
and DVD-Ram disks. The DVD-Ram disks are said to have the ability to re-record
about 100,000 times in comparison with DVD-RW which are good for about 1000
re-records.

The DVD-Ram disks have one BIG thing going for them. They operate with almost
the same efficiency as a hard drive and you can actually play and record at the
same time and they also have a time slip feature where you can watch the first
part of a show while the recorder is finishing the recording. Example: you set
a recording of 2 hours for a 7 PM start and walk in at 7:30 PM. You can watch
the recording from the beginning while the recording is being completed. Not
only that you can skip commercials on-the-fly as Lon as you don’t catch up
with the real time recording.

Last, but not least seriously consider a recorder with a built in hard drive
such as the Panasonic DMR-E80H which can record about 37 hours of recordings in
a high quality 2 hour mode. Commercials can then be deleted EASILY off the hard
drive and a DVD-R disk burned without commercials. With the hard drive the need
to even fool with a DVD-Ram disk disappears (unless you run out of Hard Drive
space) and accessing numerous shows on the hard drive is simple and sweeet.

Hi, all!

Just one little question to DMR-E80H users that purchased it in the
US. Panasonic official specs state that it needs 110V AC and has NTSC
playback only. I'd like to know if it is actually correct, i.e.: 1)
doesn't it have universal 110-240V power-in? 2) can it playback on PAL
TV & record from PAL broadcast?

Thanks alot!

Does anybody really re-use discs 1000 times, let alone 100,000?

If they're going to use these recorders as replacements for VCRs, sure
why not?

Only problem with DVD-RAM is that it can't be played on conventional DVD
players.
