JVC DRM10 is it any good?
i am about to buy my first dvd recorder. I would prefer one that writes dvd-r as i use these on my pc,also need firewire to transfer camcorder tapes,i am considering the jvc drm10s does anyone own one and is it any good?
new user wouls be grateful for any advice on this or other recorders.
I have one of these. I paid £220.00 from John Lewis(price matched)
I have recorded on only -RW disks and they are fine.
I haven`t got any RAM discs to try.
-RWs will play back on my other cheapo dvd players after finalising.
It has DV input for digital camcorders, though I have not yet transfered any camcorder recordings to DVD`s yet.
The timer function is pretty user friendly.
I believe that the machine does NOT have RGB IN, but it has SVHS in & DV input.
Ihaven`t used it much, but from what little use it has had, I have pleased with it.
The lack of RGB in is the only negative thing about the complete JVC range(although they may have corrected it on the MX1).As it is they let themselves down,although DV input is pretty hard to find on a machine at the price of £220.
But John Lewis will not supply JVC stuff as multiregion,you would need a specialist dealer for that.
RE: JVC DRM10 is it any good?
thanks for the advice. one other question! i want to connect my pace sky+ box to the recorder do i need the rgb connectors or is there another way to connect?
sorry if it seems a daft question but i am a complete newbie
thans in advance
There are plenty of dvd recorders out there with RGB input,but if you insist on the JVC then as you have Sky+ you can use its s-video out socket to the JVC for near RGB results.
Do you have any stuttering problems when playing back on other DVD players?
When using -RW my discs seem to occasionally stutter during playback. This
stuttering is not there when viewed on the JVC recorder.
Be interested to know.
