nice look, nice functions, but heard from dvdplusrw web site there are many bugs like showing 'no disc', 'freezing during recording'...etc.

new comer, dvdr75, could be better

sony is the best choice but limited function with +rw, no +r recording (no matter as +rw disc is cheap & very very very convenient like using vhs tapes)

i am using Taiwan made dvd-recoder +r/+rw format; by far very pleased with its performance (3 weeks passed), but how long could this performance last? over 50pcs of discs recorded

above is for your reference

salaman:

Which dvd recorder that you got?

lite on? or memorex ? or somthing else?

How is the recording quality?

I went to dvdplusrw web site. There is a lot of infomation. Thanks.

若有考慮將DVD錄影機當選台器或是錄第四台的話,還是選P牌890比較好,P-scan線路是DCDi的.不過SONY使用的V-DAC是108MHZ/12 bit的,重播一般的DVD光碟應該會比890好.最重要的是目前30K以下的都是二區水貨,公司貨可能要加10K才買得到/

買不到的要$49900/

hi, gam五年級, i bought memorex and have tested for 3 weeks; at the beginning the fan didn't work so i have returned it to replace with a new one; secondly i've problems with melody x4 dvd+r disc, it has now been approved the disc is bad and the machine has no problem with +r; however, i like to use +rw disc (by far no faulty +rw discs from my experiences, about 60pcs) as i could erase any recording if any mis-recording; like using vhs tapes; very very very convenient & most of all, +rw is rather cheap, i have recorded tv programes and then play them in another low price dvd player without problems, guess they have offered booktype function

in fact, i think inside memorex is exactly the same as inside sampo dv-r1; using Cirrus encoding chip sets (very powerful chips including AAC decoding, dvd-audio decoding... but the machine has limited its functions) and more stable than philip's engine; the drive is Ricoh 5240a x4rw, quite stable as well but i don't know the duribility yet as only 3 weeks passed; the dv to dvd mepg2 encoding chip set is from philip (where i don't know much if there is a problem as my d8 is failing and sent for repairing; i have tried 2 times before d8 sent for repair & the pic quality is excellent)

the appearance of lite-on & memorex is quite at the same level - cheap look; lite-on is better on catalogue, memorex is better in real

pic quality: HQ (60min/disc) is excellent; SP (120mins/disc) will rely on the quality of the sources; never tried under SP mode

one function i would like to have but it does not appear on this machine is "deviding a recorded title'; the Cirrus chip set has provide the function according to its spec sheet but the platform of software does not offer it, why? I have sent an email to ask both the maker (M.E.T.) & Cirrus, but got no reply.

i don't know much about lite-on model only by now it is Sanyo's pick-up laser head, ESS engine from taiwan, but regarding the dv-dvd converter, i don't know who has offered the chip set (i think perhaps also philips)? however i prefer ricoh's dvd drive when it comes to the same price level; i have good repressions when/still i am using ricoh's cd-rw drive for more than 2 years without any faulty.
bassically now on the market, all taiwan-made (made in china?) dvd recorders are based on lite-on model or M.E.T (ricoh) model no matter which brand they have put on the machine (Mustek is older & no 1394 port); benQ has yet launched its model, which, i think, will be based on philip's as they are alias

i was too excited to get a dvd-recorder earlier and lucky enough to get +r/rw format before i have studied the format-war as +r/rw is indeed a very nice format, especially +rw (no existing re-writable format could offer same functions like +rw, including compatibility); but i am sure soon the taiwan-made models will drop its pricing to NTD10,000-15,000 depends if 1394 dv port is offered or not as this port will cause more cost; also expect a build-in hard drive model could come out soon maybe in next year, there may be recorder could offer dvd+r/rw dual layer burning, that will be superb as i have transferred ld to dvd in HQ mode, that will cost me two discs for one ld programe to get the best quality

if you could get a sony gx-7 around 25k; that is the best choice by far regarding the building quality & the format even it does not offer +r recording; forget -rw or -ram; they are good in japan but i am sure +rw will fly soon in near future as we could see situation on the disc market; now price of +r/rw has dropped and more suppliers are offering

多等等比較好
很多新的DMR不是支援+ -就是有雙匣
並支援DVDR 2.0

我在等這各月底國際牌要發表的新機...!!!

我就是用philip dvdr 890
之前公司貨買34300
到現在已經錄了幾百個節目去了
當然片子只用mitsubshi dvd+rw跟ricoh及sony
我覺得還蠻好用的
只不過以後建議仍然考慮買硬碟機種
而且最好是dvd+RW的 會比較好一點
因為一片dvd+rw我能接受的畫質只能錄120分鐘
這樣一點也不夠用..

請問到底dvd+rw好還是不好?!tks

I bought a new Philips DVR75 three weeks ago in the US for US$290(including tax), have recorded about 20 hrs of TV shows. When recorded under the 2hr mode, the quality is near original, but when I record it under the 4hr mode, the quality drops siqnificantly(also some blocks/masks appeared).

Most operations(fast forward, play...etc) seem to take 1 or 2 seconds to respond after I press the button. Did you guys experience similar issues on your DVD recorders?

I haven't recorded from other analog sorces(VCR, Hi8) or DV yet. So I cannot comment on its performance in those areas.
