I bought my first DVD recorder this past Xmas. If my experience is any example, the decision is weighted more by the format you intend to use, than the brand (or at least equally to the brand). As Net Llama wrote, there are two, mutually exclusive, formats out there -- the DVD-R, -R/W, -RAM format & the DVD+R, +R/W format (plus the prerecorded formats). I chose a Panasonic because of their support for the DVD-RAM format. Sony, to the best of my knowledge, is the only manufacturer who sells a drive which supports both formats (mostly). cmr -- Registered Linux User #241964 ---- "Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." -- Samwise Gamgee _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
