How to choose a DVD recorder.
When you are looking at these things you are going to notice three varieties and there is actually sort of four or five novel we will get to that later. All the way over to the right here you got the Sony RDR GX300. it is a stand by unit, it is your basic straight forward DVD recorder. There is no hard drive in it, does not have a tape deck at all. basically it is out there, it just records DVD’s, it has a cable tuner built into it so you can take your cable from the wall and plug right into the back and set it to record just the way it did with your VCR 2.
After that, that is the Toshiba that we have out here now. we see a lot of these things going out because they have a hard drive big enough to hold over a 100 hours of video. You know, people are using these things for a number of reasons one of which is; you got a bunch of old family tapes, now we have seen all this things. They are shop on grab on, he is walking around and there is a bunch of stuff that no one wants to watch, you fast forward through a lot of it.
Have them one of this things that is there is a hard drive built in means you can take that whole tape, record on unto the hard drive here and then just go through and delete this stuff you do not want and put what ever is left on a disk. It makes it real easy to add and down all the video that you might want to put on DVD whether without needing a computer for $2,000 to do it instead.
In fact one of the ways you can look at a unit like this that has got a hard drive built into it, it is like a really simple computer just for DVD advent. And then the third kind that you see here has a VHS deck, a tape player and a DVD recorder both in one. These things have been really popular too because most people are looking for a way to get all their old VHS tapes on the DVD.
We are seeing a real move away from tape because they are big and they are not as high quality as they could be. In fact, a lot of the problem with tape is the fact if it loses quality for everyday it sits in storage somewhere. So the fact that people are looking to go into digital actually there is a method in madness there. A digital media such as a disk like the one in here, like a memory stick, anything that is not on tape stays the exact same qualities when you put it there.
There is a reason through that. Now what we have just seen out on the market as of the past month or so has been a unit by JVC. That has actually got a tape player, it has got a DVD recorder and a hard drive all in one. We have not sold a lot of them because the price is $700 so the price is a little in hand at this point but at the same time see if you got a ton of these tapes. And you want a good way to be able to take out the scenes you are not interested in putting on disk later on, one of these makes a lot of sense.
Having everything under the same roof so to speak, helps you and that it is more convenient, you do not have the connections to worry about and over out the transfer is better because you just, you do not have as far it would go. Anytime that the 2D’s are 3D and the case of the JVC we are talking about are all in one box, you got hard connections between the DVD recorder and the hard drive and the VHS tape deck it is going to make your transfer better meaning your over all product will be better too.
