-=PCTechTalk=- Re: DVD Recorder.

Thank you for the info.  Guess I will stick with the VCR s because I have  4
of them, sometimes on Motor Car /Cycle day I have them all going at once on
different races, not often, but now and again. I was hoping to transfer the
VCR Tapes to the DVD CD because I was told they would hold 4/5 tapes.
Once again, thank you all for the info that you have given me .   Lionel.

A blank, recordable DVD will give you about 4.3mb of space (Ignore what the
label say, you WILL NOT get 4.7gb on a single writable disc)-how you use
that depends on the quality of the footage you want to put on-At 'best'
quality, you are looking at rough 2 to 2 .5 hours, but I  just finished a
couple of DVD's with 450 minutes-that's 7.5 hours- of footage on each. The
quality of this footage is the same as a VCD (Video Compact Disc) which is
roughly the same as common, everyday VCR recordings.

Remember the old motto 'Garbage In, Garbage Out'?? well, it's very true when
it comes to DVD writing. When you digitise the video, you choose a
resolution to record in-the higher the bit rate, the better the quality will
be, but if you are talking about a dusty, worn 20 year old video tape, or
one that was recorded in long play or whatever, it's pointless going for the
higher bitrate as you are not going to get any better result by doing so.
