Divide titles on Panny

[djohlson]

I bought Panny ES15--it can't divide titles. Anyone know if other Panny 20 does divide titles? Seems at least one feature is missing in the recorders I'm looking at.
suggestions?

I have used the ES10, ES30V, and ES35V. They can only divide a title with dvd-ram.

Thanks trhouse. Do you think Panny is better than Philips DVDR3390? With the Panny, I guess I could end each recording early than published (1:58 rather than 2:00 hrs.) and then start next movie later than published (2:02 rather than 2:00 hrs.). But that might get to be bothersome in a short time. I've had one Philips and one Magnavox before and very much like the set up and features--including dividing titles. But they both stopped recognizing discs between 1.6 to 2 years.
Would like something that will last longer.

You have to use good quality media and a player lens cleaner may be needed every now & then.

The new Panasonic DMR-ESx5's are pretty good (25, 45, 75, and soon 55)

Where do you get lens cleaner for DVD recorder? Same as DVD cleaner, I would think. I bought a DVD cleaner that had a brush attached to the disc. Didn't seem to do anything. Afterwords, still could not read discs. My old Magnavox would not read many of my recorded discs but could still read commerical discs. Would a lens cleaner allow the Magnavox recorder to view my old discs?
