1). How the DVD Recorder compares to VHS By : john
For many people, VHS is dead. They’ve long since thrown away their old video player and switched over to watching everything on DVD. However, there is still a hard core of VHS users who keep their old systems around and the reason for that is simple – you can record onto VHS.
Of course, you can now record onto DVD, too – it’s just taking a while for people to notice, and for prices to come down low enough to make it a truly attractive proposition.

2). Choosing the right DVD format By : john
One problem with DVD recorders is that the industry never really standardised on one writable DVD format. Instead, the market is split in half between ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ formats. There are currently five different kinds of writable DVD: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM.
That might look like a bit of a mess, but it becomes clearer once you understand what the different parts of the names mean.

While some are convinced that DVD recorders are the future, there are also lots of people who think that they’ve already fallen by the wayside, to be replaced with hard disk recorders. This term refers to set-top boxes like Tivo and Sky+ that simply plug into your DVD and allow you to record straight onto their hard drives, no removable media required.
