Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | I have had a DVD recorder with 80 gig hard drive for a little over a year now. It is hardly top of the line stuff,but works well. It will record 87 hours of video on the hard drive for easy access to stuff that you might watch once or twice then discard. It lays each recording out in a thumb nail list so it's easy to find a recording.
If you decide that somthing you recorded to the hard drive is worth saving, it will do a high speed transfer from HDD to DVD recorder . A 2 hr movie on the HDD will burn to a DVD in 5 minutes. BTW,bulk spindle pack 6 hr DVD's sell for 30 cents each now. The unit also has a feature called "time shift". This feature allows you to record a show as you watch it. Works great for action like an auto race where you might want to go back and review somthing that happened on the track without missing any of the action. Also works good for those channels that run 20 min of commercials per hour. When the show comes on, start the recorder on "time shift" and go play with the computer or read a magazine for 45 min to an hour then start watching the recorded show and zip through the commercials. You will get to the end of the 2 hr show in about an hour and 15 min with no commercials. |
