ejai,
I realy appreciate your honest posts and comments on this site. From your two previous posts I found that you have some serious issues with this JVC model:

My findings are there is a slight sync issue with the JVC recorder. I made several identical recordings using the E50 and the the JVC and if you look reallllll close you will notice the lips don't sync up with the audio on the JVC captures. Yet the E50 clips are perfect.

Yet the over 2hr mode does not do well on fast moving scenes, in my opinion the Panasonic does a better job there. I have some dance video that is at least 2:30mins long and the video is very pixelated on some parts where the dancer has a lot of movement. The same video clip captured using the Panasonic shows very little pixels.

In spite of your comments, will you, please, explain why you still think that the JVC DVD recorder is superior to Panasonic models.

For me, as a profesional, the relaibility and the consistent quality of the recordings is more important than the slight edge in the picture quality under specific circumstances.

Panasonic makes lots of corrupts files. I've got a stack of discs here that are bad because of AC3 corruption and bad PTS info.

There's nothing definitive on the sync issue as I don't believe anyone other than ejai has seen this with their JVC.

The high-motion video artifacting might have been due to the Panasonic dropping to half D1 (352x480) resolution on recordings longer than two and a half hours, which would account for less compression artifacting than the JVC's full D1 (720x480) recording of the same length. However, I'm not sure that was the cause, just a possibility. I have both the Panasonic and the JVC, and the JVC is clearly superior as far as PQ goes.

ejai?
