Thank you Al in NYC There are quite a few very good ones out there. I've been quite happy with my Toshiba DVD recorder. It's no longer available or I'd mention the model number. I'd advise a model with a hard disk as it adds a lot of flexibility and as a bonus they typically have DVR functionality. -- David Bath - RAHE Co-moderator -- |

David,thanks for your reply- Being a novice in recording to DVD's need you to clarify 1-model with hard disk vs no hard disk and 2?DVR functionality OK, a hard disk model allows you to record the video, do any editing, divide into chapters, and rearranging before burning the DVD. This gives you most of the functions a of a PC-based DVD recording setup. A unit without a hard disk is pretty much like a VCR except it uses DVDs. The DVR (Digital Video Recorder) function is the generic name for TIVO-like functions. Beyond being able to setup timers to record programs similar to a VCR, you can pause and rewind live TV. The other approach some have done is to get a unit without a hard disk, record to R/W media and do the editing on a PC. I find the hard disk recorder a simpler choice. -- David Bath - RAHE Co-moderator -- |

Forgive my ignorance, but won't he also need something to defeat the copy protection on the Laserdiscs and commercially recorded VHS tapes and DVDs? My (perhaps erroneous) understanding is that most stand-alone DVD recorders will not copy protected material. Jeff -- |

I assumed the VHS mentioned in the original post were not commercial as in my case where I was recording my own camcorder tapes for archive purposes. -- David Bath - RAHE Co-moderator -- |

I did run into a copy protection problem with my DVD recorder, but it happened when I wanted to copy from my satellite DVR to watch premium movies while traveling. At first only a very few would refused by the recorder, now most are protected. -- David Bath - RAHE Co-moderator -- |
