Philips DVDR75 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Good DVDr with 1 annoying problem...
I purchased this machine a week ago and have only used it for 1 night.  After deleting most of the disc by deleting my last title, I finally got the hang of it and did pretty much what I wanted to.  The only Major problem I have is that it leaves an empty title hanging on at the end of the titles.  <BR>The main menu lets you insert titles after you have recorded the entire disc (great feature)!  As you insert titles and chapter markers within the titles, you still get an annoying &quot;Empty title&quot; box as the last title on the main menu.  I called Customer service and they informed me that this was a feature.  Well, I do not get this feature of knowing how much space is on a disc on a disc that I have purchased.  I have not tried a DVD+R disc.  Maybe this goes away since after you finalize a disc, you cannot use this empty space anyways.  As far as the video quality goes, it looks pretty good using the M2 setting.  The remote was a little difficult getting used to but after only using the machine for one night, I was able to insert all my titles and chapters on a 2 hour recording in just 20 minutes.  BTW, there is a fast forward button on the remote that either functions as a fast forward or a next chapter locator (depending on whether you leave the button pressed (ff) or just press it on or off once (next chapter locator)).  <BR>All in all, the machine does what it claims... I makes a duplicate of the input with a pretty good quality image.
