Just acquired a Sony DHR1000 DVHS and MiniDV recorder as a Xmas present to myself - not sure how quickly it will arrive.
Reading the specs and reviews I didn't realise how high a spec for its day. This unit is SD and apparently its quality is better than DVD with a bit rate of 14Mbps compared to a DVD average of 5.5. DVHS tapes are available in sizes up yo 8 hours at standard play but are rather expensive but can also use Mini DV tapes (60 mins capacity) of which I have a small box full. Unfortunately only an analogue UHF tuner but also has two line inputs.
Anyone had or still have one of these and still osing it?
Would have liked an HD version but prices are way too high unless someone has one going cheap.
