just began shopping for a dvd recorder. i'm looking at buying one of these:
pioneer DVR-520HS
jvc DR-MH30
sony RDR-HX900
any suggestions as to which one? i need hdd, 4 mode recording, high speed dubbing and firewire in/out. dual-layer would be nice too. the pioneer seems to fit this best, but i'm not certain about some of the features.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

Just to keep things up in the air, I love my Pioneer 510 and recommed the 520 highly. I compared its features with the Sony when I bought it and concluded the Pioneer was the better choice.

Just bought the JVC MH30 for myself for x-mas. Came yesterday. have not test drove it yet.

I think I would go Pioneer then JVC for my choices to replace my Philips should it die. The only reason I say it really is because a friend in Australia bought one....sent me a DVDR from it....and it reacted perfectly to all of my software choices.
Just my opinion.... -
thanks for the comments.
i only wish i knew when the pioneer recorder will include dual layer burning. -
I would not get a hard-on for dual-layer just yet. If it's anything like PC burning (and it always is), it's got a long way to go before it works decently and is affordable.

Cheapest I've seen are 7 bucks a pop for Riteks. I think I'll wait another year...
Still happy with my 4x Nec. -
For those of you that are supporting the Panasonics, have you observed 'poor video quality' from the 510H or 520H as the "review" claimed??

I've heard the Panasonic referred to as a Panachronic by a few people..
