If you record numerous TV shows and events, odds are that you probably have a considerable amount of space dominated by VHS cassettes. Space savings may not be enough to push you over to get a DVD recorder; however, high-quality DVD recorders have come down in price enough to consider the transition. Not only can you store high quality video on blank writeable DVDs, but the media has come down in price considerably as well.
When DVD recorders were first released, they came onto the market at steep prices. Now you can find name brand DVD recorders that are still quite a deal. Don’t waste your time purchasing an off-name brand DVD recorder, when you can get a good Phillips or Samsung for nearly the same price. Most of the off-name brand DVD recorders available today will often provide poor DVD burns, which will result in wasted money on DVD media. The extra ten to fifteen dollars to get a high-quality burner is definitely worth it.
There still are some expensive DVD burners on the market, but they bring something extra to the table. Some of the leading brands in are manufacturing DVD recorders with built-in hard drives. With the added storage of a hard drive, you can record video instantly, without even loading a DVD to burn. Additionally, if you only intend to watch the show at a later time, you can save the DVD, which you would have burned. If you are considering purchasing TiVo just for short term recordings, you could save some money just by having a hard drive equipped DVD recorder.
Unlike their original predecessors, new DVD recorders are more compact and pleasing to the eye. Now you can get a hard drive equipped DVD recorder, which is roughly the same size as your regular DVD player. The exception to this is DVD recorders, which also contain a VCR, since VCRs haven’t become quite as thin as DVD drives.
Something to take into account is the idea of purchasing a good DVD recorder online. Amazon and other online stores have some great deals available on both new and used DVD recorders. Before you spend some extra money, take the time to check out what’s available online. In many cases, the shipping is free on larger electronic devices and you can stock up on some cheap DVD media while you’re shopping online.
Just in case you’re still having some remorse for your older VHS tapes, there’s some additional good news. You can purchase DVD recorders with VCRs built in. Benefit from the higher quality recording technology and transfer your old VHS cassettes to DVD. Why throw away recordings of the Dukes of Hazard or Dragnet if you don’t have to?
Finally, take into account the fact that most DVD recorders are somewhat easy to operate. If you have family opposing the idea of DVDs simply because they think you cannot record on them, buy them one for Christmas. Older generations opposed DVDs mainly because they thought it was the end of recording your own video. Help out the family and bring them up to speed as well.
