Samsung DVD-VR330 DVD Recorder
works okay--but I haven't spent very many hours on it yet.
This machine plays DVDs great.  It also records pretty well--so far I have only used it to transfer from my MDV camcorder through a fire wire.  It ended up being a little blury no matter what recording level I used. <br />It does not read picture CD's very well as our previous DVD player did--it skips 3 or 4 pictures for no reason. <br />Also, I did have trouble playing the longer recorded DVD's on other people's machines.  The short ones worked fine.
