Panasonic DMR-E100HS Progressive Scan DVD Player with 120GB Hard Disk
Product Info is misleading
I bought this unit based on information ...., which states the DMR E100HS's ability to read images and video from analog VHS, DV connections, SD or microdrives etc...however all is not true, which I would have known sooner, if I had downloaded the manual.<BR><BR>  Basically the only way it can read MPEG4 videos on SD [not pc cards]is when the unit has actually written the file itself. It can only read JPEG-TIFF stills from pc or SD cards. The only way to import any video into the HHD for editing is by connecting VHS, S-VHS, or a direct feed from your digital camera, or TV. <BR><BR>  The unit it easy to work, and does a nice job with the DVD's from VHS. You can also hook it up to your TV and record shows onto the HD.<BR><BR>   However, I would advise anyone interested in this unit to download the manual and read carefully so you undestand it's limitaions BEFORE you spend the money.
