What's the Best DVR for VHS to DVD copying?

[ganymede]

A friend is looking for a DVD recorder to be used mainly to transfer his VHS tape collection to DVD. What's the best machine for this? I understand some machines do a better job than others. Cost is no object. Thanks for your help.

I like Panasonic as I can keep the Closed caption subtitle's. Sony and APEX are very good also. If these are store bought tapes you might have to get a box to rip out the copy protection on the VHS tape.

Just for transferring VHS-based video to DVD, any currently available on market DVD recorders are perfectly fine and will do their job.

It is very subjective. I personally was unable to find the difference in recording capability and quality between my Panasonic and other brands such as Pioneer and Sony owned by some of my friends.
