Q. anybody have a DVD recorder? im thinking of buying one because right now what we have is a regular camcorder, and it sucks when i have to transfer it to a VHS tape (which is already obsolete) for my mom.
questions:
1. with the DVD recorder -- can you really actually watch it as is on your DVD player?
2. is it rewritable? let's say you were to film an event for only 30 minutes and you still have some space left -- can you add more filming to that? and let's say there is a section of the film that you don't like, can you record on top of that?
3. any good brands? any recommendations?
4. is it worth it?
im just asking it over here because i come home late at night and the stores are already closed so i can't really ask the people who work there. i want to give it as a gift to my mom, and hopefully it's easy to use. she's been bringing this bulky camcorder everywhere and it's heavy for her. i saw that the dvd recorder is lighter.

Answer
#1 yes....a dvd recorder is awesome
#2.....it's rewriteable..depending on the blank dvds you buy..you'll have to buy rewriteable dvds
#3...you get what you pay for...if you want a good one, then you'll have to fork over some decent money. Try looking at Consumer Reports
#4 yes, I think you'll like it. They'll last a lot longer than a vhs tape...and easier to store or transport with you.
I really think a DVD recorder is an awesome thing, especially as a present for your mom. This is an excellant idea on your part. Go ahead with your bad self. I'm sure your mom will love it. Best of luck to you...........

Answer
Some DVD camcorders take pictures and video. Some Camcorders record photos on the original media by freezing a frame of video, some have a separate media for the photos.
The camcorder will play video taken with the camcorder on tv's and you can transfer the video to computers to edit and make videos, DVD and/or VHS. I have heard of some camcorders that record to DVD recorders and make DVD's directly, but you don't get to edit those videos.
My recommendation is to get a photo camera to take photos and a camcorder to take video. A camcorder that takes pictures doesn't take very good pictures and a photo camera that takes video doesn't take very good video. Get a camera for each.
If you want a combo, I would determine which is most important to you, Video or Photos and get the camera that will give you the best quality for that mode of recording. So, if video is most important to you, get a camcorder and get one with the best photo capabilities you can afford. BUT be mindful, if you start to pay too much, it may be more econimical to own a separate photo camera.
Get a Camcorder that records DV either on tape or on small media DVD's. Get a camera that can record at least 3 megapixels. You can go as high as 6 megapixels, but 5 is good enough and 3 is the minimum for 4x6 photos.
You must choose the best model or brand depending on your priorities, but major name brands can be had for good prices, Sony, Samsung, JVC, RCA. Panasonic, Canon. I would avoid Bu Bu Gao because I'm sure they have no authorized service locations in the US.
Good Luck and Happy Shopping.
