DVD Recorders + DVD-RWs

tobythecat [Edit] [Delete] 3 replies 19:05, 22 July '07

my mums VCR just died so we went and bought a DVD/Video recorder.

So I was all excited about being able to record films and things off the TV onto DVDs, so I had a look to see what was available in terms of DVD-RWs and stuff.

They ALL seemed to be 4.7Gb, 120 minute long. I don't think that is really long enough, because the main reason I would want to record onto a DVD is if there was a film on i wanted to keep, but a lot of films are (obviously) longer than 2 hours, so you couldn't record it all onto one DVD.

So:

- Are there any longer DVDs out there? Or is there a way of recording at lower quality to get more recording time?

- What do you do if there aren't any longer ones?

- Should we have just got a hard-drive recorder?!?

Answers on a postcard pls.

  • i don't think you can get any more than 4.7gb

    but you should be able to alter the encoding rate so that you can fit more than 2hrs on there.

    • yeah you'd think so wouldn't youq

      but i asked the sales guy in Comet, and he said you couldn't do that. But then again he IS just a slaes guy in Comet, so maybe he doesn't have clue.
