I purchased my first DVD-R, non-HDD, from that well known retailer, whose name ends in Smith for $399. After at least six (6) exchanges I gave up and requested a refund, which to their credit they did without qualm. As much as I enjoyed the recording experience when it/they worked, the machines failed fairly quickly. My advice, and from those around me, is to stay away from the $200-$300 non-HDD recorders, and seek out the reputable HDD models. I think from memory these were in the $1000+ bracket.
Strangely enough, my current DVD (apart from my notebook one) players are all those sub $80 versions, which appear to have given reasonable service. The idea of creating DVDs on the PC/Notebook sounds a good way to go, but not one that I have tried.
Cheers, hope this provides some guidance,
Graeme
