iLO DVDR05 Personal DVD Recorder
Not sure what all the bad press is about
I've had mine for about six months now, and there have been no problems with this at all.  I've been using it to record off our DVD camera, off video inputs from our DirecTV DVR and from my laptop, and it's done just fine.  The only issue I've encountered is that on two discs, when it got close to the maximum capacity of the disc it returned an error when finalizing the disc, but the disc was still playable on our other players.  It even took a DVD+VR format disc I made with Nero and offered to adapt it to its format so I could make edits with this player. It also plays back Mini-DVD (DVD format on CD-ROM) and DIVX movies.<br /><br />For the benefit of others, I've been using Memorex DVD+R media, Verbatim DVD+RW media, and even the cheap Staples DVD+RW media. Have yet to have a problem.<br /><br />The only other problem I've encountered is that my in-laws have a DVD player that is a few years old, and they complain that the DVDs recorded on this player don't have any audio when played back on theirs, even though they play fine on this recorder and a portable DVD player I have.
