Philips DVDR615 DVD Recorder
Great except for the I-Link
I've created dozens and dozens of DVD's with this recorder. I mainly use it to back up my VHS tapes (mostly home movies, etc., not copywritten movies because it doesn't let you do that). It's worked great so far, except for the I-Link feature. I plugged my digital 8 video camera into it, and it just did not work right -- jittery w/artifacts, etc. I decided to use the analog plugs instead, and the quality is almost the same - you'd have to really be an expert in video quality to tell the difference (I did have a few luminence problems with the RCA connections, but I now use the S-Video connection and it works great). I would recommend this recorder to anyone looking to go from homemade VHS to DVD.
