DV IN/OUT Why?

[sirugo]

I'm planning to buy a DVD-recorder with harddisk; either a Pioneer DVR-520H which has DV-IN/OUT or a Panasonic DMR-E85H which has NOT.

Now, before deciding I would like to know for what reason I should choose the one with DV IN/OUT before the other one.

For what else can DV IN/OUT be used except shuffling video-data back and forth to a camcorder?

Please, give examples!

Thanks

Well the most obvious thing would be for editing on a PC I would think.

If you have Video onthe PC how you gonna get it to the burner in the settop recorder if it's your only burner?

If you want to edit and do anything fancy to your DVD you are creating then how you gonna get it onto the PC? Course that you could burn a disk then copy with a normal DVD-rom drive to the pc, but if you don't have a PC burner then what do you do after editing??

DV in/out would make the above much easier I would think, and faster also, pretty sure!!

Then there might be alot of other reasons too I don't know about.

Kinda like what's the point in having a hard drive in a burner that writes a DVD on the fly durring capture?? Probably alot of reasons....
