Panasonic DMR-E55K Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player , Black
Very good, simple to use
I think even the eight hour mode looks fine - a heck of a lot better than a VCR set on the best quality setting. <br />My one complaint is that editing on regular CDRs is very limited. It would be nice to be able to insert chapters or at least crop recordings, but no dice. Chapter editing seems to be limited to CDRWs only. It would also be nice to make up playlists from MP3 CDs, it would be nice to be able to have a JPEG slide show, but now I am asking for bells and whistles. I am very happy with this recorder.<br />Combined with my Tivo, I am in TV paradise.
