5.0 out of 5 stars
The best of the lot ..., December 3, 2002
This review is from: Pioneer PRV-9000 (Electronics)
I looked far and wide; did research; tried this and others.
I finally bought this item over a year ago.
I have made hundreds of DVDs of videos that I have shot myself.
This machine makes DVDs that can be seen on most all DVD players manufactured after April 2000. I shoot dance recitals, weddings, parties, and just plain family events using a video camera that records on Mini-DV tapes. Then, I play the tapes on either the camera or a JVC SR-VS20U using a firewire/DV cable into the PRV9000. The results are spectacular and profitable. Avoid the other formats unless you want to be the only person to play your finalized DVDs. Until a faster, multiple disk recordable machine comes out; this is the one to have. The best part is the input signal is NTSC! That means you can use it just like a standard video recorder using almost any signal instead of converting from an AVI file to Mpeg 2 before putting the file on the DVD disks. BTW; the media has dropped dramatically in price to almost [money] a disk for 2 hour DVD-R blank. I have been using Mitsui disks but have begun to use Maxell with good results. Good luck.
