Recommend a DVD recorder? and place to buy it?

I am looking at the Phillips 3380, I can get it for £117 at Woolworth, I work there so I get a 10% discount.

I seen that Dixon sell it for £102, with £4 delivery charge, so maybe I would get it there, not sure how long delivery takes.

Any recommendation for a DVD recorder and where to get one? I looked at Argos, Woolworths, Currys and Dixon.

Thanks

RE: Do DVD players in the UK play foreign VCD?

Theres a link saying you can hack it, is it reliable?

The link is http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/forums/thread.asp?Forum=176&Thread=623437&Type=1

Not sure if posting a link is allowed in this forum?

RE: Do DVD players in the UK play foreign VCD?

I was going to get the Philips DVP 3020 for £32, its usually £40, but it was out of stock. I got the Toshiba SD-160.

It plays all the 7 VCDs and 2 DVDs I brought from Hong Kong. However, it didn`t play a DVD I brought from Hong Kong, its different to the other two I brought. I seen it already, its a boxset. I was wondering whether I can watch it using some sort of hack?

Is it safe? I am going to buy more DVDs from Hong Kong, so I guess not all of them will play?

Do DVD players in the UK play foreign VCD?

I know that they can play VCD, but not sure if they can play foreign VCD.

I brought loads of VCD from Hong Kong, I can play them on PC and Laptop. But I want to buy a DVD player. Not sure if I can test it at the shop.

If the answer is yes, I am unsure with the wording of S(VCD) in a catalogue, I would of though it means you can play SVCD and VCD? I guess its safer to buy a DVD player which state it can play VCD. Some DVD players in the catalogue just say they can play SVCD, and not VCD?

Also, is VCD just not written by accident? Shouldn`t all DVD players play VCD?

I seen a DVD player costing £100, and it doesn`t say it can play VCD, I also seen a DVD player for £25, and it says it can play VCD?

I also heard that any DVD player that can play DVD can play VCD?

Does anyone know?

Thanks
