Panasonic DMR-ES15S Progressive Scan DVD Recorder
Fantastic Product!
Having grown weary of dragging my home video collection (which is very important to me) all over the place, and knowing that my wife and I both enjoy making films, we decided that we'd like to get a DVD recorder.  The first one that we got was a piece of junk from Samsung (I normally like Samsung, but not this time) which I got rid of immediatly, and replaced with this one from Panasonic.  I was not at all disappointed.   <br /> <br />The DMR-ES15S is a fantastic, very easy to use DVD recorder.  It is extremely versatile as far as what kind of media it will accept: DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW as well as other types of media.  Most of the menus and functions are very self-explanatory, but if you do need the instruction manual it's laid our very nicely.  The S-Video and DV inputs in the front of this unit (as well as the standard AV inputs) are very convinient and make this unit very user-friendly.     <br /> <br />In the month or so that we've had the unit I've already recorded about 30 DVDs, and have had no trouble at all.  Do note that this unit will NOT record copywrited material: in fact most DVD recorders wont, so don't be too disappointed in this one.  This was an excellent product for the price as well - I highly recommed this unit!
