Question:
I am considering buying the Alba RDVD1002 DVD recorder from Argos (£79.99).
Can someone please tell me if it is any good for what I think I will use it for!
a) I would like to transfer some video tapes onto dvd.
b) I would like to use it to record programmes from tv (rather than video tape them).
If this isn't a suitable machine can someone point me in the right direction please!
Cheers

Answers:
Thanks for the link - still not too sure if its ok for what I want it for (as I have no idea about much of the techie stuff!) but I'm thinking maybe its worth trying anyway - can always be returned!!!
Answers:
Have a look at this
Around the same money but has a few more features, and as you say you can always return it!!
Answers:
I wouldn't recommend any of those cheap and nasty DVD recorders.
If you want to use something more akin to using your old video recorder, get a model that can utilise DVD-RAM.
For example, the Panasonic DMR ES10.
May find it somewhere for around £130.

Answers:
hi donnie
soz i meant is the quality very different on the dvd-r etc models than say on those using a dvd ram?
Answers:
It's not just the quality issue that is the decider, it's the extra functionality.
"Panasonic DIGA DVD Recorders offer all the benefits of the DVD-RAM format, like simultaneous recording and playback, random access, chasing playback, on-disc editing, and multi-format data compatibility that lets you record TV programs and still pictures on the same disc"
This is in addition to having the functions of a standard DVD-R recorder.
Also, the Panasonic has 500 line quality on LP recordings(2 x LP Horizontal Resolution (500).
