Panasonic DMR-ES10S DIGA Series DVD Recorder , Silver
Great for Transfers
I've had this machine for a month and I really like the quality of DVD it produces. It can record in multiple speeds, more than a VCR. You can even use a Flexible Recording feature to fit any given disc. Chapters are automatically created and you can title your chapters and select thumbnails for each one. After recording at least 15 discs I have not encountered one read error, using Ridata and Memorex discs. It records on DVD-R,+R, and RAM (others, as well). It also plays just about every kind of disc including VCDs. I must say that the quality of image is better on the discs that I have transferred from tapes. I have recorded one movie directly to the DVD recorder and the shifts from darks to lights were a bit abrupt. This is my first DVD recorder, and it works very well for my purposes. Amazon shipping was very fast and highly appreciated.
