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 noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?
    • I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
