Re: DVD Recorder




Buck Turgidson ha escrito:
I am not very tech savvy and up on the latest stuff. I have had bad luck
with VCRs lately, and am too cheap to pay the monthly Tivo fee. Do DVD
recorders allow a DVD to be re-written over and over like a video tape?
Are they are viable replacement for a VCR?

Thanks for any help.

Yep! You can buy a DVD recorder and use DVD-RW or DVD-RAM media with
it, and record over and over the same disc, just like a VCR tape. Also,
you can use DVD-R media, but that is a write once media.

All in all, a DVD recorder is better than a VCR.
