Re: [DMCForum] DVD Recorders off topic

Funny you should ask that just now, Mark.  We just got one.  
Actually my husband picked this out.  I'll let him tell you about it.

Here's Bob:

Got a Panasonic DMR-E55.  It came highly recommended and is 
acclaimed by the critics.  I haven't had that much time to play with 
it, but recorded quality is great!  It doesn't work quite like I thought 
it would.  It's supposed to store up to 16 hours of video which can 
be edited then burned to DVD.  This is what attracted me to it the 
most, but it turns out that 16 hours employs something called DVD-
RAM discs, a new on on me.  These are re-writable discs which 
differ from DVD-RW (the Panasonic uses the minus format, not the 
plus).  DVD-RAM is usually used for digital storage for computers 
and can be re-written 100,000 times.  The Panasonic has functions 
that work on DVD-RAM discs but not with DVD-Rs.  My guess (since I 
haven't yet obtained any DVD-RAMs) is that you can record on that 
format, do some editing functions, copy it to a DVD-R on the 
computer when finished, then re-use the DVD-RAM disc.  I need 
more time to play with it before I can be considered any kind of 
authority on  it.
   Hope this helps.
