DVD Recorder do the same job as a VCR?

[Hellfighter]

will shopping around for a DVD recorder that do the same job as a VCR?

as i know the DVD/Recorder only store up to 120min but is there a DVD recorder that do the same thing as a VHS tape can do?

thinking of buy one for my Tv-Set to recorder programs to save like a VCR can?

no Computer kookup at all with this unit

dvd recorders can store more then 120 min, it depends on the recording type (those EP (extendeded play), SP (??), etc).


I recorded at least 6 2-hour movies to one dvd.

I would get one of those dvd recorders that also have the harddrive (forget what they are called) - You can record to the harddrive, then latter move the recording to a dvd if you really want to keep it.

That is what we have - And we use the harddrive recording more then the dvd. its great for recording things such as a tv episode that you want to see, but not necessarily want to keep. Saves you from having to constantly burn to dvd's.

Our's also allows us to erase the dvd and re-use it.
