Looking for a good DVD recorder
Hi all,
I`m looking for a new DVD recorder. I have Sky+, so I don`t need a hard drive. It must be Region free. It would be super nice if it played DivX/Xvid files too. Needs to have RGB scart. Component/progerssive and all that is a nice bonus, but probably not essential since the current TV doesn`t support that.
Looking in the sub £300 range.
Thanks in advance
Rich
RE: Freecom Media Player 3
Any info on what the picture quality is like on these? I find the lack of RGB Scart a bit worrying but SVideo can be ok on some setups.
Some people have complained about slow navigation, but that`s to be expected to a certain degree with a device like this and can be worked around with good directory structure. What are people`s opinions? Is this viable as a lounge MP3 player? How noisey is is?
RE: Replacement for Wharfdale 750 please!
Bought a Cello yesterday, £35 I couldn`t resist.
Picture quality is what I`d expect from a £35 unit. Obviously not up to the standard of the Wharfdale.
After a brief test there are several issues with the unit, none of them make it worth less than £35 though.
I think I`ll pass it on and check out the Poineer at the weekend.
RE: Replacement for Wharfdale 750 please!
Hey mate,
Cheers for the offer, it`s not that I`m exactly attached to the s750 in particular. More looking for the 2005 equivalent replacement for that 2000 machine.
At £35 the Chello is too cheap to pass over, even if I give it away in 6 months time when something really spiffy comes along.
RE: About to buy DVD Rewritef for PC - what media?
If I were in your boots, I`d look at www.blankdiscshop.co.uk and buy one of their sample packs. That is if nobody who knows for sure replies.
Personally I have a Wharfdale s750, and that is fine with +R media, but I haven`t really used many -Rs. All that I have tried have worked so far though, except DVD+RW, which it will not read at all.
RE: Cello DIV-X DVD Player @ Sainsburys - only £34.99
How big is this thing then? I really want a small one (say, half width?).
Replacement for Wharfdale 750 please!
My old Wharfdale Tesco DVD player (750 I think) seems to be wearing out. I need a replacement which
What I need is a DVD player which:
Will play all formats of DVD (DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, although I can live without DVD-RAM)
Is multiregion without having to buy anything extra (burning a firmware to cdr is no problem)
Will auto-switch between PAL and NTSC
Has RGB Scart output with fairly decent picture quality. The Wharfdale was fine.
Doesn`t have sound synch issues (I hear the KiSS ones do)
Costs less than £170
It would be nice if it also:
Played DivX\XviD\MP3\ogg etc etc etc. I have an XBox for that stuff, but hey, options is options...
Didn`t look\feel cheap and nasty
Had an unloseable remote control ;)
Am I looking for the moon on a stick or is all this reasonable?
I know DVD recorders are all the rage right now, but I don`t have even an arial, so one will be no use to me at all.
RE: DVD Recorder, I`m Confused!
Is this going to be region free/hackable without any extra stuff? What is the playback quality like on these Panasonic recordable units aqnd do they have RGB output over SCART?
I know this sounds like I`m being dense, sorry...
