Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder
Great device, but needs better interface
I purchased the Toshiba D-R4 recorder for two purposes: <br />1. Archive shows from my Tivo hard drive to DVDs <br />2. Edit the shows to remove commercials <br /> <br />This device works really well for my needs. I've successfully created commercial-free archives on DVD-RAM discs of my favorite shows. The only reason I don't give it five stars is the interface. It seems unnecessarily scattered. I've memorized how to perform the tasks in which I'm interested and I still don't see why they organized the menus and commands in this particular way. The docs are good - pretty well cover the tasks I need to do as well as shed light on the general technology involved with the different DVD media, but an index would be a welcome addition. I would highly recommend this device to anyone who can't stand commercials and wants to open up space on their Tivo hard-drive.
