GoVideo DVR5100 Progressive Scan DVD-VCR Combo
it's often what they DON'T say...
One of the reasons i wanted a combo unit was to view and convert dvds from grandchildren's recitals and other performances.  I found out that MOST combo units do NOT read DVD-R or DVD RW.  they only read commercial dvds.  I just spent [a lot of money] on a dvd burner.  with apple selling all these imovie tools and superdrives to burn dvds where is anyone going to be able to play them?  Let's face it, we'd like to view our masterpieces on our tv...not a 17in computer screen.  i am SOOOO disappointed.  I've been searching for days for an alternative and still haven't found one that ready DVD-R!
