just my 2 cents
i see mainly 1 person keep on bashing the panny's then recommends this other brand with this supposed superior chip etc...
well i wanted to see if there really is better video quality wise machines out there then my panny e100 and i bought the new sony hdd machine
from the day or two testing out the machine, recording stuff in hq+ mode which is hdd only and comparing it to xp and sp vids from the e100
imho i cannot see that much of a differance on my tv and also checking them out on my computer monitor at 1600x1200
believe me, i know what i am doing, checked both out from head to toe
if the sony as reviewed by many to be at the very top in video quality, i just don't see any other machines blowing the panny's away
this is an honest opinion, i forked out $700+ to see if there was this hype about better vid quality machines
after seeing for myself it was all hype, any of the top quality brands should have comparable quality imho, none of this bs blow out quality i keep reading about
i really wanted to keep the sony but i couldn't justify keeping it because i just couldn't tell the differance in vid quality to the e100 and add to that some of the flaws of the machine, like the no divide and barebones clunky interface that the panny blows away
i am out like $140 from restocking fee and shipping it back by buying into this video quality hype lol
never again, next machine i will buy is when blue ray or hd dvd comes out

I appreciate you taking the plunge and saving me the money. However, I was already confident my Panny rocks.

It looks like my burner doesn't read DVD-RAM, so that makes the decision easier.

DVD-RAM is like a small 4 gig hd. Its used in recorders that don't have a HD. Has a rewrite rating of 100,000 times. I believe it too.
Get those that are in a cartridge, these keep it clean as their disk surface is rather delicate I noticed. Make sure the reader you have on the computer can take cartridges too. I also have a dvd player that can play DVD-RAM. -

The JVC tends to blur the video making it softer and the dark areas aren't true black, the movie is a bit lighter than the original, (not like the black level bug, but slightly noticeable). Yet the JVC's picture quality overall is slighty better than the Panasonic (when the machine works). 8)Do unto others....with a vengeance! -
"How do I find out if my burner will read DVD-RAM?"
It only writes DVD-RAM if you have DVD-RAM driver for it & if you didn't get that when you bought it chances are it won't write DVD-RAM, so may not read it either. but you can search the net for the specs for your drive.
What would be the point? These days dvd-r is dirt cheap, easier to just use that & have a backup copy always available.
