Anyone own a DVD Recorder and what brand do have. What format is your DVD recorder use. How do like your DVD recorder.

I am looking at DVD recorders on walmart.com is trying decide which to get my self Christmas.
 
I have one but it came in the same unit as my TiVo. I have just used it so far to dump some shows off to a DVD-RW to watch in another room. I can hook my video camera and VCR up and transfer tapes to it, but haven't gotten around to that yet.

With the best quality setting, it holds 1 hour of footage. You can't create your own menus or anything, just what text goes in it, so your DVD's will basically have what looks like a TiVo menu.
 

I have a Panasonic DVD recorder. I can record directly from the TV or from a VHS tape. I like it. It was a little complicated to figure out at first. It only works with DVD-R discs. They are fairly expensive.
 
I have a Toshiba recorder with a hard disk drive. It is -R format. I had a Sony here for a day that did + and -, but we did not need the + and it did NOT have the HDD which is great, and I think necessary (acts somewhat like a tivo, without the fee)! You can record straight to Disk or from the HDD with editing out commercials or whatever. Can record from camcorder too. It also has a jpeg player whereas the Sony could not read my picture disks. I can create chapters, skins, etc. This Toshiba has PIP too, so while watching a DVD you can see what is on TV also. I LOVE it, but it IS complicated and I have not learned it all. Only have had it 2 weeks. It was marked down $200 too to $399! :D Must be getting ready for the 05 models.



oops-edited for typo!:o
