Philips DVDR3400 DVD Recorder with DivX and USB 2.0
Erratic performance - unreliable.
The recorder will record for 2 or 3 hours and at any time stop and give an error msg. Often the recording works fine but when you finalize you get an error.  I have tried +R 8x, -R 4X and +R 4X.  Some of these black DVD's were the $2.00 last forever variety.  When it works it works well but I cannot live with this erractic behavior.  I also think the remote is ridiculous with its small buttons and slow response.  I plan to return this item.
