GoVideo R6740 Progressive Scan DVD Recorder/Player
Surprisingly excellent!
I wanted to buy DVD recorder for quite some time. I ran out of patience and thought of buying one. I wanted to go for Philips R80 but after reading reviews for R80 I decided to give Govideo R6740 a try since I liked all the features and specifications. I had lot of doubts about it since it just came out in the market and I did not find good reviews on other Govideo DVD recorders. I bought, came home, I opened, I liked the design, I read the manual and started to record a VHS to DVD - no problems! I did not have to call their 1-800 number! It was all easy. I could check all the recording qualities in about 3 hrs - they are all good for the purpose though I would not use 6 hrs one for my home videos. I was really surprised by performance of the product compared to reviews of Philips R80. I have been recording (test) for more than a week now without any issues - I am really happy. UPDATE.... After reading Rick's review, I AGAIN checked my DVDs that I created (I used Memorex DVD +R media) using Govideo R6740 on my Magnavox DVD PLAYER. It played just fine. I did not have to download anything. I have converted my home videos to 50+ DVDs so far and did not have any issues at all. It could be DVD PLAYER issue. I do respect Rick's review and experience, but I wanted to update mine again since it was different experience. Hope this gives you additional datapoint for your decision.
