Hard Drive DVD Recorders
Hard drive DVD recorders offer great recording flexibility. However, you pay a little more to get the benefits.
The hard drive is normally accompanied by DVD-RAM, or DVD-R compatible recording capability as well. This way, most use the hard disk to record programs temporarily, which are easily transferred into more permanent storage to a DVD-RAM or DVD-R 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, you can 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 DVD recorders without a hard disk drive.
