| 456692 | 2006-05-22 00:41:00 | Hello, does anyone know if there are DVD recorders with inbuilt video editing once its on the hard disk? I have just bought a DSE model and was very surprised that it doesnt have it, so to transfer onto DVD to keep I get to keep the ads, the before section, the waste at the end everything too. What a joke, I thought with a hard disk they would all have them. Otherwise, does anyone know if you can network them to your PC to edit? Also, my DSE model will only record onto +R or +RW not -. Does anyone see this as a problem? I've read elsewhere that +* are going out of fashion. |

| 456694 | 2006-05-22 00:49:00 | Can't say I've ever heard of any DVD recorder having an editing function. It'll be the same as the DVD video cameras, you can buy. I dont think u can edit these either, unless u copy the recorded video to a PC thru firewire or something, edit it, then reburn it back to DVD. Unless the recorder has firewire or similar on it, I doubt that you'll be able to edit whatever. Recording to + should be OK. BUT, not all standalone DVD players maybe able to play + or -. Hell, the last DVD player I had, which was multizone, didnt like any burned DVD, whether it was +, - or RW lol. Unless it was VCD. |

| 456695 | 2006-05-22 01:01:00 | I've rung Harvey Norman and Dick Smith and neither of them have DVD recorders with the inbuilt editing. It's absurd. Does anyone else think that having a hard disk and not being able to operate simple editing such as delete 30 minutes off the end or anything is just absurd? Sheesh. Ill have a look at the Pioneer website. |

| 456696 | 2006-05-22 01:04:00 | Can't say I've ever heard of any DVD recorder having an editing function. Many, if not most, HDD based DVD recorders sold nowadays will have at least "basic" edit features. By basic, I mean that you should at the very least be able to delete selected portions of the video. Some may also include slightly more advanced features like divide/combine but I wouldn't expect much more than that. Just saw Buff_K's response. What B!S!. HN sell Sony/Pioneer DVD recorders and those have the edit functions I have described. |

| 456698 | 2006-05-22 03:34:00 | My Panasonic has the ability to delete any length or chapter from a recording on the HDD before burning to DVD. It is a bit time consuming to use though, most of the time I just ffwd past ads really quick. I think it can also add chapters and combine chapters but that's about the limit as far as editing goes. Complicated bleedin manual too, so I just stick to video editing on my pc. :) |

Mostly I record movies from Sky (no adverts anyway) - chop the front and rear off then record to DVD-R, works well. I think I need a graduate degree in Japanese - English conversion. Conversion seems appropriate not translation |

| 456700 | 2006-05-22 21:38:00 | If anybody wants lessons, tips on the Panasonic recorder and how to edit get in touch with me . Simple answer hard drive based recorders you can edit, in my case down to one or two single frames can be removed . The Panasonic can record to a RAM disk as well and you can even do the editing on the disk then transfer it back to the hard drive for burning to a DVD -R . PM me for contact details if you want to discuss it some more . |

| 456701 | 2006-05-22 23:01:00 | I've got an LG and it does the basic editing. I have been recording movies from TV, deleting the ads, add chapters, burnt them onto DVDs. Its quite useful as I can send the DVDs to relatives who missed certain programs or keep those that I want...like Star Wars. The LG uses DVD-R but more functions can be done on DVD-RW | ephesus (2509) | ||
