Panasonic DMR-E55S Progressive Scan DVD Recorder / Player , Silver
One often overlooked feature
Several reviews discuss the reduction in quality in going from a 2 hour recording to a four hour recording. One very cool feature on this machine is Flexible Recording, where it will set the recording time and quality to exactly the time you need. <br /> <br />So if you need to record a movie that's 2 hours and 10 minutes, insead of using the 4 hour setting and having the large reduction in quality just to fit in the extra 10 minutes, use Flexible Record mode, set it for 2 hrs 10 mins, and get almost the same quality as the 2 hour mode. <br /> <br />This feature makes a huge difference in the recording quality of the many movies that run just over 2 hours.
