I have a DVD Recorder, Philips DVDR610, and its pretty good, can record upto 8 hours on one disk (depending on recording quality). Its easy to use and works just like a VCR.

The only problems with it i find are this it only works with DVD+R and DVD+RW, not the - ones. Also It has no DV input, which isnt too much of a problem cos i can use my PC for all my MiniDV needs.

thanks ! is it a common model, because I probably will buy it at Sears or Futureshop, so it cant be much a leet machine ;)

And if it doesn't work with DVD-R I will have to explain to my mother some little things about blank DVD and wich ones to buy, no biggie :D

this isnt a product...but..it costs so i want to know...what conference to go to? WinHec 2005 or PDC 2005...I feel both would be beneficial and I could learn a lot from, but what are your experiences from those who have gone to them?

My company is going to pay for me to go to one...I am pretty sure I will be going to WinHec but if someone could review your experiences of these conferences I would appreciate it :)

I have a very nice DVD recorder unit, more specifically it's a DVD recorder and VCR unit together. It is the Sony RDR-VX500 DVD Recorder/VCR combination unit. It is very nice, it'll play AND record to both the + and - R/RW formats, just not one or the other. It can dub either way, from VHS to DVD, or DVD to VHS. It also has synco recording, I didn't read too much on it, but the take on it I have is that it helps if you hook up something to the unit to record from, and somehow syncs the playback and recording functions so you don't miss anything. It also has a Firewire DV link port to hook up your Digital 8 or MiniDV camcorder to the unit to dub from that onto VHS or DVD. The remote is very nice as well, it goes along with my Sony TV, I can just use that remote to control either the TV or the recorder unit. Maybe I need to do a full review on the sucker sometime after I toy around with it more. :D

I have a Panasonic DMR E-50 DVD recorder that records to -R and RAM.

Alternatively, a 40 hour TIVO is only $99 now.

No 3D card? Doesn't sound like too sweet of a deal. No monitor, no video card. Lifetime updates with eTrust is pretty sweet, though. What kind of VIA chipset?

Hello everyone. I'd like someone to review the Creative MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D if they have a chance. I not sure if this was already asked, but I didn't see it on the forums. If it is, can someone please direct me to the topic. Any help would be appreciated. :)

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
