Panasonic DMR-ES10K DVD Recorder , Black
Excellent and well worth the price!
I have been painfully and slowly recording my old VHS tapes on to a DVD-R on my laptop, using a video converter. Then I got the bright idea of getting a DVD recorder. I picked this one because of the price and the great reviews. <br />It works.  <br />All the positives are totally correct. I don't understand the negatives. Finalized disks ( I am using DVD+R and am not sure what advantages -Rs have) work on all my other DVD players. The remote is simple to use.  <br />The quality of the recording is the ultimate test. They are as good as the original recordings. The sound is nice.  <br />It is fast and reliable. <br />I do miss the convenience of titling each little piece on my computer with transitions, but the time I save with this is amazing.  <br />Longer recordings are a snap. There are still some old VHS tapes which are not copyguarded and those are going to join my contribution to the local library as I transfer them to the DVD. <br />Highly recommended for the beginner and very enjoyable to use. <br />Good work, Panasonic! <br />
