Sony RDRGX315 DVD Recorder
Forget about recording to dual-layer discs . . .
I bought this standalone DVD recorder for one reason--to transfer my old (yet to be released on DVD) VHS tapes and Laserdiscs to DVD. It had to be a recorder that would record to dual-layer discs, so I could get the highest possible quality for 2 (+ or -) hour movies (especially when copying from Laserdiscs). Looks like I chose the wrong one. <br /> <br />I've made 9 attempts to produce a dual-layer disc copy that will play in other players. I've used 4 different brands of blank +DL discs, and tried all of them on 3 different players (besides this one), one of which is also a Sony. All 3 of these players play DL discs created by my computer with no problem, ever. But not one of them would play a single disc made with this Sony recorder. If you want to make high quality recordings which exceed one hour in length, forget this player. It's utterly useless. I'm sending it back.
