Our ancient DVD player gave up the ghost this evening.
I had a HD Camcorder for Christmas so was thinking of upgrading to a DVD recorder instead of just a player - we don't need it for TV programmes, it's built in to the TV - having said that, that does not produce a disc, it's just stored on a hard drive.
I've read up a bit on blue ray but still don't quite get it - would there be any advantage over DVD esp regards video editing?
Are you intending to record from the HD camera to the DVD recorder?
Standalone Bluray recorders are not readily available on the market I don't think.
If you need it from your camera to a disk, the option is either dvd recorder, or going the computer route of dragging then editing, before burning to disk.
You'll have to clarify what you want a bit better to enable me to answer a bit better.
Between our posts I've been on a couple of other forums and the general consensus was that I should Read The ....... Manual! The camcorder manual that is.
Editing can be done on the camera itself, it has 2 SD cards - mine are both 16GB. Then fine-tuning can be done on the video application in windows 7 and a disc can be made if required.
The TV can also be connected to the PC if I wanted to transfer stuff from its hard drive to disc - 'can' being the operative word!
So I just replaced the DVD player - it was a toss-up between a Sony and a LG - went for the LG. Good choice! The TV is also LG and when I press the 'DVD' button on the TV remote, it will do everything the DVD remote does bar eject a disc!
