anybody have a DVD recorder? im thinking of buying one because right now what we have is a regular camcorder, and it sucks when i have to transfer it to a VHS tape (which is already obsolete) for my mom.
questions:
1. with the DVD recorder -- can you really actually watch it as is on your DVD player?
2. is it rewritable? let's say you were to film an event for only 30 minutes and you still have some space left -- can you add more filming to that? and let's say there is a section of the film that you don't like, can you record on top of that?
3. any good brands? any recommendations?
4. is it worth it?
im just asking it over here because i come home late at night and the stores are already closed so i can't really ask the people who work there. i want to give it as a gift to my mom, and hopefully it's easy to use. she's been bringing this bulky camcorder everywhere and it's heavy for her. i saw that the dvd recorder is lighter.

#1 yes....a dvd recorder is awesome
#2.....it's rewriteable..depending on the blank dvds you buy..you'll have to buy rewriteable dvds
#3...you get what you pay for...if you want a good one, then you'll have to fork over some decent money. Try looking at Consumer Reports
#4 yes, I think you'll like it. They'll last a lot longer than a vhs tape...and easier to store or transport with you.
I really think a DVD recorder is an awesome thing, especially as a present for your mom. This is an excellant idea on your part. Go ahead with your bad self. I'm sure your mom will love it. Best of luck to you...........

Not sure about DVD recorders...But I would get a digital camcorder and transfer what you want to DVD.
But the Eagle above sounds like he knows what he's talking about.
He's the reason I look the way I do.
