[QUOTE="Donzo Bonzo, post: 98980, member: 190697"] My video recorder packed up today. I took it to a shop to be repaired, and when he quoted me £50 for a repair, I took it home and put a hammer through it. I then rang my catalogue and ordered a new Nicam VCR for only £49.:) Many people will wonder why I am still into video when the DVD market, both players and recorders, is exploding... The reason is although I have a Phillips DVD recorder, I rarely use it because it's so unreliable. It misses frames out and sometimes there are errors on the discs. I nearly always record my favourite TV shows to video first, and then if I want to transfer them to DVD, I can. I sometimes do this with my stand alone DVD recorder, but most of the time I run an analgoue feed to my pc and convert to DVD then burn using my pc's DVD recorder. My point is, I have had more than four DVD recorders on loan from catalogues, and all of them have have been crap. I have returned them all, they're so unreliable. Nothing beats videotape. I think it'll be around for at least another 10 years!!:) [/QUOTE]
