Hi there DVDers

I want to by a set top box stand alone DVD / Hard Disk recorder (Does not
have anything to do with a PC ie goes with your tele (TV if you are
American).

I want it to replace an aged VCR . I want it to be all singing all dancing
ie.

I want to have video plus (Most Important as her indoors might use it), A
big Hard disk, burn every type of format +- ram rom you name it.
I want it to read & write DIVx Xdiv Mp3 Mp4 Mp5 and every Mp there is Viw
Wav PM3 WMA WMB WMC CD-Video, S-Video, JPEG, MPEG-1,Pictrue CD, DivX
3.11, DivX 4.x, DivX 5.x, Xvid all in there + & - versions obviously.
CD-DA,MP3,Dolby Digital,
we haven't got enough of these have we.
Most people's grannies say you cant have everything in life but what comes
closeest?
Basically is there a DVD recorder on the market that does almost every
thing? & plugs into a TV set ?
If not what comes closest?

Thanx JIMBo

Check out the Philips line.

Most everything else is deficient pertaining to your specs.

You only get an hour or two of good quality video on a DVD 4.7GB disk anyway.
Editing out the commercials is still a chore to be abhored. The hard disk (80GB)
will give you 17 to 34 hours worth of recording at the 1-2 hour per disk
sampling rates. This is great if you want to record shows but you are sure you
don't want all the extra vhs tapes cluttering up your abode. If you want to
transfer hundreds of 6-8 hour vhs tapes to DVD, I'd wait until the mega-disk
blu-ray technology comes out 5-10 years from now; and save the wear & tear on
your last vcr by using the hard drive/DVD recorder.

When do DVD-R disks magically disappear from the market anyway?

Panasonic E85 works a charm for me
