Comparison of Panasonic and Phillips Recorders?

[jasta]

Is there any site that gives a side by side comparison of these two brands, with advantages and disadvantages of the lowest price models of each brand?

Thanks

well regardless of what model i can tell you one main reason why the panasonics are better, unlike phillips, Panasonic machines will record any shit/noise/garbled/mess of video degrade that you run into the machine. Hell you can record 2 hrs of white noise if you wanted to. The Philips machines take it upon themsleves with no way to shut this off, and the machine actually senses this and cuts it out. That would be ok however you lose the second or two before it happens, you lose any minute signal that may be there during the glitch, and about 2 seconds when the signal comes back in.

It is a horrible feature of the machine and Philips could have at least gavethe option to turn that off. i called them and they have no plans of changing this, but they fully understood where i was coming from.

Also as i had machines by both, the panasonic did achieve better looking results then the phillips.
Hope this helps some

I am trying to figure out which model would be best for putting a large number of VHS movies on DVD, and watching them later on a computer.

I'm looking for the same type of info. My PC has no capture card or DVD burner, so purchasing either a standalone recorder or a PC burner would probably wind up being about the same. I just want to backup my years and years of VHS recordings to a digital format.
