It's not crippled - but the upgrade version just has a lot more

Where I come from, that's called crippled.

So what would it take to make it "crippled" in your evaluation? |

a total of 32 different recording times between 1hr and 6hrs.

You can set VNR (video noise reduction)
Amount of detail to retain
Black level

These act at hardware level directly on the input before anything is
recorded. It's very nice for someone like myself who has recorded a
lot of old movies with a lot of flaws in them. Often using the filters
the resulting DVD looks better than the orignal tapes.

I have a low end Sony (ES10) which has worked well for me; think I paid
around $170 for it at a COSTCO. Not all the above bells and whistles,
but it does let you set the record time, to the minute, to match the
length of the program you are recording -- giving great flexibility in
that area.

Yes it goes for about 350 bucks-I forget the model number.

So far I've mostly recorded older movies from TCM, focusing on those
that are not letterbox. One limit of mine is that it will not record
16:9, except apparently on DVD-RAM -- which I'd rather not use. Despite
limitations, I'm very happy with it as a "starter" recorder.
I suspect I will eventually want an HD recorder, since I have an HD 16:9
monitor and 10-12 HD cable channels. But unfortunately the HD channels
often screw with the formats of movies (e.g., take a 2.35:1 film and
chop the ends so it fits on a 16:9 screen with no top-bottom borders.
Are there any good web sites with reviews of HD recorders?

I think we are talking at cross-purposes here - I was referring to Hard
Disc, not High Definition.

Uhm ... Bob;
I've had several DVD+RW discs wear out in as few as 12 erase/rewrite cycles.

Just what you would expect to read from a hotmail top-poster.
Don't listen to him. You can erase a DVD +RW a thousand times.
You will wear the DVDR out before you wear out 5 DVD +RW discs.

I have a set-top DVD recorder (Cyberhome DVR-1600) that once in awhile,
when hitting stop at the end of a recording, fails to finish the file
and declares the disk (DVD+RW in this case) to be no good.
This happened to a TV episode I have wanted to capture for a long time
(stupid of me to not concurrently VCR it, I know). The 1600 recorded
the whole 2 hours (in a 3-hour quality mode), but when I hit Stop maybe
5 minutes after the show was over (I like some padding), the recorder
made some drive access noises and then declared the recroding a
failure. But when you look at the disc, you can "see" where the data
was written, and this makes me think that somehow, with the right
tools, the .VOB file might be somehow recoverable. When I put the disc
into my external DVD writer on the computer, it sees nothing, no matter
whether I hook it up to a windows or MacOS machine. But then I haven't
tried any particular file-recovery tools on it.
I'm not gonna erase the DVD+RW until I have exhausted all avenues.
Any ideas if this is possible, and if so, what's the best tool to use?

Ummm, Colon those would be defective media. No, you will probably not get
1000 re-writes out of every -RW, but you should get close to that...have you
bothered to confirm that the disks were completely unusable by returning
them to the manufacturer, or made sure you didnt have a recorder problem?
Were they what have been considered decent media or really cheap stuff? |

Did you full-erase them when they "wore out"?
Nero has a bug, so I use DVD Decrypter to do the full-erase.
What brand of discs were they? More importantly what was the MID.
The tech support guy at Ilo (CyberHome) said that they recommend
Verbatim DVD +RW. |

You have to match the media to the DVDR. |

Hi,
Try ISObuster.
I had a disk that was not finalized but ISObuster still was able to recover
the VOB file.
Regards,
Martin
