Pink Floyd Veteran Posted January 15, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2005 hello all. I play to buy a dvd recorder very soon to replace VCR at home So far, I head that dvd-ram has the capability of deleting only a part of the dvd, which dvd-rw or +rw can't (you have to erase the entire dvd) the ony im looking for Panasonic the timeslip seems to be a very nice feature that not all dvd recorders have do you guys have any other alternative or infos to share? thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271868-advantage-of-dvd-ram-over-dvd-rw-dvd-recorder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhav Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 i'm not sure about the 'deleting a part of it', but i think dvd-ram is used in most players cos you can re-write to it unlimited times. dvd-rw and dvd+rw have limits to the number of times you can erase and write.

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted January 15, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2005 actually, around 1000CAD with a 3 years warranty I'm a VERY compulsive buyer hehe Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271868-advantage-of-dvd-ram-over-dvd-rw-dvd-recorder/#findComment-585299947 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 15, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2005 It's a smart choice of a recorder. 32x dubbing from HDD to DVD-RAM is a sexy feature to have and the free TV Guide service is another benefit.

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted January 16, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted January 16, 2005 yeah bangbang, I've just watched dogeball with my wife and recorded it for trying. the only thing I dislike is the fact that my tc cable comes from digital box and tv guide doesnt work it wouldnt work also with satellite besides that, I love the way it shows the stuff you have recorded on HDD. When you highlight a movie or tv show, it shows you a preview in thumbernail Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271868-advantage-of-dvd-ram-over-dvd-rw-dvd-recorder/#findComment-585301056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 16, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 16, 2005 yeah, it's really optimized for a direct connection but almost no one allows a direct digital cable connection to a TV/set like this. I'm glad you enjoy it, though. Have you tried the chasing playback feature yet?

For 800$ CAN you could have bought their HD recorder which has similar specs IIRC and you would have the integrated guide in it and 100% of all your digital cable features compatibility.

cal2002 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Little late now, but you can indeed delete single shows from DVD+RW and/or DVD-RW records. I do it all the time on my Sony unit. DVD-RW in VR even gives you A-B delete mode, in addition to deleting full records without a format.

Works well, but has a few bugs in it. TV Guide only show 2 days at most, if you want to see more than 2 days, the unit say : Data not available. The HD does make noise that can be irritating sometime. All in all, I would prefer to have a choice. Buy something that I like and be able to record my Digital Cable on it. This is getting crazy all the diffrent standard, Cable, Digital Cable, Satelite, .... The feed should be the same comming from anykind of box...

The only thing with external HDD+DVD recorder, is that the TV guide built in the panasonic doesnt work. Perhaps, the digital TV terminal' internal guide still works Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271868-advantage-of-dvd-ram-over-dvd-rw-dvd-recorder/#findComment-585303361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
