mb Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi, I have decided to buy one of these and wondered which ones were good value, Empire Direct have a Panasonic 80 GB, multi-region, multi-burner (DMREH50MR) for 273 would this be a good choice ?

Sparky Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I got one of these recently from Amazon. They are currently at £299. Cracking bit of kit. Popped it into a local Sony store and they unlocked it for free. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN...3042989-3045459 80GB HDD capacity DVD+R Doulbe-Layer disc compatible Precision Cinema Progressive HQ+ recording for high picture quality 64 x High Speed Dubbing from HDD to DVD Pause Live TV Intelligent Chaptering D-Matrix Noise reduction Chasing Playback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks, that looks a better bet as it seems easier to use & lets you pasuse TV which could be useful. Do you know if when you burn to DVD these can then be played back in regluar DVD players so could give to someone else ? Thansk Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 We just got the Panasonic one for Christmas off the parents, and you can pause TV, record to DVD, edit on the HDD and then record to DVD etc. Recording Video to DVD at the moment, then the video recorder is up for sale.

Thansk Martin [/ QUOTE ] Although I've not had much chance to use my one, I was told by friends that yes it does work on other machines. They've made compilations from music channels, edited it (down to frame by frame too), picked a thumbnail for the menu and burnt off discs which do play on other machines. I'll know for sure after the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
