The Polaroid 2001G can do the following:

1. Plug and Play for a hard drive upgrade. It will take anything you throw at it. I've got a 500 gig in mine right now.

2. It has a standard DVD burner. I've replaced it with no problem. So if you burn out your burner it's a $30.00 Plug and Play fix.

3. Copy free anomaly with a Philips 642 player (no macrovision etc) - not that important just something I found strange.

4. LSI chipset

I'm looking for a recorder that offers the above with better editing features. Any suggestions?
