I have 2 different HDD dvd recorders, a Toshiba and an ilo. The ilo is acting up and I plan to replace the dvd drive.
I want to step up to what I really want....a hdd based recorder that will record in a standard DivXAVI format. I want to be able to move the files directly to my pc if possible. I have a 40 gig usb drive for file transfers.
So, is there a DVD recorder with the following features:
HDD (at least 80 gig)
records from source and writes DivXAVI files to either the HDD or direct to dvd+-r
can write saved files to dvd in standard dvd format so disc will play in standard dvd player (no DivX support)
would also like a usb port to move files, but not a requirement. DVD+-RW's will do if usb is not available.
It's not a DVD recorder, rather it's a 2.5" USB drive that can record/playback in DivX format (and can playback unencrypted VOB files as well, as well as MP3). I have the playback-only version of this and was thinking of upgrading, as it looks like one cool gadget :)
I believe there is a 3.5" version as well for more money. If you have a spare drive kicking about (and a PC with DVDRW drive), this would represent a DivX recorder for the price of the most basic DVD recorder.
1) No tuner. I want to set it to record certain shows every day/week.
2) No reliable review. It does look like a neat item...but without someone testing it I am not interested.
