Excellent Low Cost DVD Recorder2008-11-03
This is my first DVD Recorder.
I actually got this here on Amazon for $88.09 (New) and am VERY happy with it. I have only recorded to DVD-Rs but have had no problems either recording or playing back any DVD. I like that it plays DivX discs.

The main reason I bought it was to record programs off of the Tivo. I have NOT recorded any Pay-per-View (no interest) nor any Premium channels like HBO, Showtime, ect... (don't have any). I haven't tried to back-up any bought DVD either. But I have read elsewhere that it will do all of these.

I wish when playing back a DVD it would give you a timeline to show you how far along you are. All you get when you fast-forward/rewind is that symbol (>> or <<), no idea if you are at the beginning, middle or end.

TV is a 50" Samsung 720p. DVR is a SD Tivo.

Records dvd's too dark2008-09-28
I purchased this recorder for the sole purpose of having quick backup capability for my miniDV tapes. I was backing up to the Toshiba dvd recorder as well as pulling the video off to my computer at the same time. Every dvd I have burned, no matter how I set it up, the picture was much darker than it should be. I've checked settings, connections, read the manual and nothing fixed the issue.

For average user, it might suffice but for my business, I can't have backup's that are useless.
Didn't last2008-09-06
Only lasted 7 months. When I called Toshiba, they offered to fix it if we pay $70 for labor plus shipping- not acceptable. It should be covered less than a year old. It just randomly stopped working (it was never dropped or even bumped). It was slow to start from the first time we used it but otherwise worked fine until now. Very disappointed it didn't last and will not buy again.
First one DOA, second one worked fine for about 6 months2008-08-22
This was a Christmas gift; the first one was DOA. I thought it was the remote, but it was the recorder itself that was bad. So I exchanged it. The new one worked fine for about 6 months, then it started screwing up: anything I played looked fine, but the audio was delivering at about 20% of normal volume. I had encountered that before, with certain discs; this was universal. Any disc I put into it had to be cranked up to the limit to be heard at all, and even then I missed a lot. I am currently involved in negotiating for repairs. After eight months and a DOA? Jesus, Toshiba, who are you trying to kid? IT'S JUNK!! This company can build a reliable nuclear reactor, but can't do a DVD recorder? The heck with it-I'm switching to Sony.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
