Toshiba RD-XS32 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 80 GB Hard Drive
Good value.
I've had this recorder for several weeks now. It was somewhat complicated to use at first, but it has lots of functionality. I've experienced no problem with recording DVD's and playing them back on different DVD players - the picture is just fine (NO \\"black-level\\" bug that I can see). Overall this recorder is a good value since it costs $100 less than similar rival products and it includes a Firewire input port. Thumbs Up!
