Home recorder. Press Record on one and Play on the other,
Stop on both when done, finalize the disc and you're finished.

How do standalone recorders go about cutting out commercials? How do you
edit video with them?

they have ones with hard drives

Mine has the ability te edit out anything you want afterwards. It's very
simple.... if you read the manual. It was very difficult before that...LOL

You have to place chapter markers where you need them. One before the
commercial....one after. Then make the resulting chapter hidden. When you
watch it back, any DVD player will skip over the hidden chapter.

They're equiped with this high tech feature called
the Pause button.

Or get one with the hard drive and thode models come
with built in capabilities to edit out things you
don't want before burning a disc.

Dave,,, Yours won't do chapter markers on a DVD+R? I wonder why? Mine does
it just fine. I can do more with an RW disc but it will at least do chapter
edits.

Pause works very well on the combo units. On my Panasonic VCR/DVDR
hitting DVD REC unpauses the tape so I get clean cuts before and after
the commercials. Doing it with separate units would be more tricky as
you'd have to juggle remotes and the on-screen text from the VCR
(PLAY, etc.) would get recorded.

A DVDR with a hard drive would be the best option if you have the $$
and a good VCR already.
