I would like to commend you on your revamped revies section! I think it long overdue and I can't believe that it's just as one thgought it should! ... like minfs and all that.
It's a real joy to see the lastest DVDs and other important hardware and software packages reviewed without being too complimentry on the product under review.
Thank you
Individual links do not work, but the review has helped me in my choice for a new product. Thanks.
around and around we go
deja vu perhaps
Rang Panasonic on the number you gave above - took forever to find out the
SW-9572-C isnt available in Australia yet or if it is only in a new PC (OEM).
If anyone knows when and where we can get one please let me know.
I've had nothing but trouble from my LG 4040b even after two firmware updates it is still very fussy about media. It often refuses to write princo (high grade) discs at 4X, and has similar troubles with other cheaper media (laser) that work well in friends' Pioneer and NEC. No problems with TDK -R disks but they cost nearly $5 each.
On the Pioneer A06 DVD-CD-RW drive, I had no problems for 3 months and then the drive just quit reading any DVDs I burned. Both formats of -DVD and +DVD. DVD movies still play I have bought or rented. Just all I burn do not. And it does burn. Haven't found a cure yet. (Updated firmware to v.108)
These Dvd Recorders are all well and good, BUT what they don't do is record Digital Signals as they don't have a Digital tuner, sure you can record now but what abput when Analog is no longer around, are they still going to work? I think not as you will not be able to record SBS as it's on channel 28 analog and on 3, 30, or 31 Digital. If they won't record digital signals what good are they??
LG 4040B is the best thing available. We had to get a number of different burners as we know there are lemons (diversification!!!) and LG is by far the best. It can burn all formats including the ROM's, and the number of errors compared to other ones (Sony was a real shocker) non existence. Both thumbs up!
Unfortunately, RecordNow, like so much software these days presumes that you will only want to use their software. Thus they seem to have hijacked the burner and you can no longer use other software to burn CDs.
I have a new Phillips DVD recorder DVDR 615(brand new with iLink), but am finding that a lot of the movies I am recording won't work...all have been from Fox Cl****ics or TCM channels. Would these old movies be copyrighted? Is that the reason I end up with "corrupted discs", useless for nothing except throwing in the bin? (both DVD+R and DVD+RW TDK and HP brands) I don't know if the DVD burner is no good, or I just can't burn most of these movies........I somtimes wonder why we bother with this technology when I can record it on video without a problem.
adding a hard drive later on to models that dont come standard...can this be done??which models are capable...?
