The SVCD recording is supposed to be pretty good. Does not have a TV tuner like the Aspire Digital AD-8000 has.

Saw a demo of the AD-8000 on HSN once, looked way better than the Terapin I have Wish I had the Aspire instead.........

I would like to get a DVD recorder instead but I would have to get the right macrovision remover.....

First I've heard of it, but wow does that look and sound cool. I need something that supports SVCD's and this might be the machine for me Price tag is a bit high on it so I'm gunna wait, plus I want to see some feedback on it first though...

I wonder if the recorder is affected by macrovision?

[telemike]

Compared to the nwe Mustek, the Mustek can copy DVD to VCD, but the Lite-On does SVCD recording.....

....interesting but for the uninitiated this not a DVD recorder.
VCD.. SVCD will not hold any where near what a DVD media will hold.
However depending on your needs...pocketbook this product or similiar could be usefull.
