Panasonic DMR E55 Review
Similarly to most other Panasonic DVD recorders, the DMR E55 records into DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs. Supported playback formats include DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, CD-R/RW, and MP3 CD.

The fruits of that development work are obvious with the DMR E55, as you can record up to up to 16 hours of programming on a double-sided disc, or 8 hours per side (on standard 4.7 GB discs, in EP recording mode).
