DVD Hard Disk Recorders
The hard drive is normally accompanied by DVD-RAM, or DVD-RW compatible recording technology as well. You may also find DVD+RW recorders with hard drives. This way, many use the hard disk to record programs temporarily. Then, if the program is a keeper, it can be easily transferred into a more permanent storage, a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW format disc. In addition to more flexibility in storing the programs, there is also greater flexibility in viewing the shows with most of these recorders. For example, many of these recorders allow you to watch a recorded program and simultanously record a new program into the disc. Also, you can stop live picture and the recorder keeps on recording, and you can resume to watch the program as you please. However, you can find these features even from selected DVD recorders without a hard disk drive.
