Sony, Panasonic, JVC - Question on HDD to DVD Recording |
|
|
It's about HDD/DVD Combi-Recorders
One of the named brands it is going to be.
But. One of the key features I am after seems to not being
prepared by the manufacturer!
About HDD footage
- editing
- quality-retaining recording to DVD-R (or other)
Of course, for a, say, 100min show in "HQ+"-mode one would
require 2 or even three DVD-Rs.
Would. If it was possible to record the title in portions. But
this seems not to be possible at least with the Sony machines
(read the manual of the "RDR-HX 1000S" carefully). Or has
anybody knowledge of a tweak or a hack to achieve this even
though?
With the Panasonic DMRs, it seems possible, but I am not very
sure about this. They write (in the manual of the 95) of
"splitting" or "dividing" (don't know the word they use, as I
have got the german edition on-screen) a "title". Does this mean
that one can divide a show recording (eg from TV) in portions
fitting to a DVD-R at highest quality (ie about one-hour bits)
and address every portion separately for dubbing?
The JVCs are not really an option, since their HD is too small;
I'm out for huge capacity HD (So, best choice here would be the
Panasonic DMR500 with a 400GB drive - but they sell it for 1450
Euros, and this would definitely be slightly above my budget
limit.
Could anybody enlighten me, as for the HDD to DVD-R writing as
described?

With the Panasonic you can split a title (recorded show) into any size titles. You can edit out commercials. You can copy from the hard disk to DVD without losing any quality by using high speed copy (essentially a file copy). You can also copy from the hard drive to DVD using variable compression so that the title will exactly fit the DVD. I use this to record a show on the hard drive at the highest quality setting, then copy it to a DVD with the best quality that will fit on a single DVD. I have copied movies almost 3 hours long to a single DVD using this method and the image is acceptable, not as good as high quality DVD but better than video tape.
