A so-so DVD Recorder

bybd_lin Jun 6, 2004
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Cheap. DVD Playback/Recording works fine. Lots of inputs/outputs.
Cons Does not reliably write DVD's after time. Few edit functions
Recommended it? No

Update to my original post. After a year, still plays DVD well, but the recorder does not always record properly. Sometime it will hit a bad patch and the DVD becomes unreadable. Other times the DVD looks ok, but is a little jerky on playback like you are skipping frames. Sent some e-mails to the... Read full review »

Pros Easy guider is wonderful and firewire input.
Cons Fails to allow copying of discs it creates. Fails during record and locks up machine.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this about 1 week ago hoping to easily transfer my home video's to DVD. It did not go very well. The first problem was that s-video input had interference unless I also put in the Composite video signal and switched to it first. Secondly, after burning my first disc, it froze. I had to...

Inexpensive DVD Recorder/Expensive door stop

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Supports both + and - formats. Makes dozens of coasters in either format with ease!
Cons Customer support/service. Reliability. Picky about media.
Recommended it? No

The main reason I bought this particular machine was because it supports both plus and minus formats. It wrote just fine for awhile but then got picky about the media - now it won't play or write even on media it played and wrote on the week before. Yes, have used recommended media. In lieu of...

Pros Excellent for playing DVD videos, jpeg CDs, and recording from basic cable
Cons Will not always load discs or access titles, freezes up during playback
Recommended it? No

I've had this unit for a week now. It plays DVD video fine and makes very good recordings from TV. I also liked the jpeg CD slideshow feature. Now for the bad news. I tried playing some finalized DVD+R discs I own. Sometimes the discs won't even load, then later on they will. Sometimes I cannot... Read full review »

Pros Affordable device, does what it was meant for
Cons none.
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this DVD recorder to record training sessions straight from the dv-cam to DVD.
It first takes some practice to find your way in the menu unless you read the manual first.
The quality of the video is adjustable to SP, LP, SLP and the quality depends on that.
The playback... Read full review »

Pros worked for a little while
Cons Piece of Sh*t

Worked decent for less than 6 months and then rarely plays a DVD never mind recording one, and it only has a 60 day warrantee!
