Check out circuit city/best buy they run great deals on them and stay away from i-lo and lite-on

Panasonic and magnavox has pretty bad ass recorders for under 200, Reviews do no justice I have seen them in person....If you are just going to plug and play and dont care about component/hd inputs and so forth then great, Quality will drop off though around 4 hours and burn at slower speeds as they give you a better burn, I burn at no more than 2.4x on mine and when switched up to 4x it looks like ass.

Get the Sony DVD recorder...records on +R and -R format.

Lite-On is a great brand for DVD Burners for a Computer im not sure about DVD Recorders though.

Dont spend 200 on a cheap one its just gonna **** up.

The panasonic e55s I think that is what you are looking at is a pretty decent recorder, A buddy of mine has it, however the picture comes out kind of grainy.

My parents had bought a Magnavox one (also at circuit city) for like $179.99 and I have tested it out a bit, Im surprised it holds up very well and quality is great even at the 4 hour mark....To top it off the magnavox recorder has COMPONENT INPUTS!

That is probably your best choice for a dvd recorder under 200, It is pretty good and should do you well.

Word of advice get low speed discs when using your recorder it will give you a better burn, 4-8x looks like trash on the recorders I have tested but 2.4x holds up well...

magnavox recorder has COMPONENT INPUTS!

What is COMPONENT INPUTS?

Plus could you put the DVD in chapters so you can pick a round to watch out of all of them?

I just got one. What program do you use?

Won't it be easier to just hook up your pc as a dv recorder? Haven't done it myself but a buddy from work has.

Haven't done it myself but a buddy from work has.All that is too confuseing but I will buy a good color printer/scanner to make labels for my DVDs, I would much rather just connect the recorder to the TV and just press record than invole my computer thats already very complex. :D

i see... never really looked into a dvr yet. does it record directly on a dvd-r or it has a hard drive and you have an option to burn to dvd-r?

Component inputs support hdtv and progressive scan capabilities.

The Magnavox recorder automatically puts the video into chapters with a menu.

For two days I've been at war with my new DVD recorder (installing it), I have won and by the looks of my early tests great picture qauilty, looks just like the oringal picture.
I got a Zenith DVR413 from Brandsmart for $150.I will test it again later tonight recording the Paid in Full movie.It's as easy as a VCR, just click rec / stop / play.
