libya 115 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I am looking for a DVD recorder that can also play (multi region discs) to replace my existing DVD player. All I want is something that can record onto blank discs. No Hi-tech needed just the programme in O.K. quality is good enough for me. I won't be watching (them) twice. Just like in the old days when I used a VHS video to record the odd programme. Suggestions? And thanks............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotsman Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Have a look in here just to show you what there is on the dvd recorders. http://www.sinsiamelectronics.com/catalog/...d09322ee68875b5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) I've seen in PowerBuy a Pioneer model with 160GB at reduced price of 15,000 from ticket price of 20,000. It allows for several hundred hours of recording, so should be more than enough. My only quibble with PowerBuy is they only seem to stock recorders for a limited number of brands. If anyone knows, be interested to know a place which sells a variety. As far as Sin Siam is concerned - not sure i'd trust shopping on the net here in Thailand - have you had any experience with this Scotsman? Another question - does anyone know which of the DVD recorders are not too fussy about which discs they play? I've had bad experiences with both Samsung and Panasonic DVD players rejecting a lot Edited March 15, 2008 by rixalex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotsman Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have never used the internet shopping so I don't know but I am sure there will other members who have. I have a sony DVD player old model never had a problem playing anything I am waiting for the blueray model to come down in price here before I upgrade. I don't need a DVD recorder as I have my vhs video recorder for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need a DVD recorder as I have my vhs video recorder for now. If you want a bluray player that's good value, just buy a ps3, only around 15,000 and as you can update it with any new firmware changes, it's one of the best players around at the moment (check on the net). Even if your not playing games it's a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I don't think my TV is Hi-Def it is just an old CRT type,and it is going well at the moment. Any other advantage of Blue Ray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotsman Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The blueray Dvd players are a good upgrade in the future when we all have new LCD or plasma 1080p TVs. It has no other advantage until they can record. I know about the ps3 but I will wait until they have fully developed this new format and will buy just the DVD or a DVD blueray recorder.
