Re: DVD Recorder

Bull***. DVD recorders have NONE of the flexibility of a VCR for real time recording. VCR: While recording a movie, If you miss Pause when the commercial appears, you can stop the tape, rewind to before the commercial start, and start recording when the movie starts again, sans commercial. You absolutely cannot do this with any format of DVD. If you miss the Pause, your screwed. Also, there is a delay, sometimes several seconds, before recording starts on a DVD recorder when Record or Pause is used. Makes real time recording or dubbing a tape from VCR to DVD VERY difficult to do properly. Sure, you can record over on a DVD-RW, but as I said, NO flexibility for editing or dubbing.

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.
