Bull****. DVD recorders have NONE of the flexibility of a VCR for real
time recording. VCR: While recording a movie, If you miss Pause when the
commercial appears, you can stop the tape, rewind to before the
commercial start, and start recording when the movie starts again, sans
commercial. You absolutely cannot do this with any format of DVD. If you
miss the Pause, your screwed. Also, there is a delay, sometimes several
seconds, before recording starts on a DVD recorder when Record or Pause
is used. Makes real time recording or dubbing a tape from VCR to DVD
VERY difficult to do properly. Sure, you can record over on a DVD-RW,
but as I said, NO flexibility for editing or dubbing.

Yep! You can buy a DVD recorder and use DVD-RW or DVD-RAM media with
it, and record over and over the same disc, just like a VCR tape. Also,
you can use DVD-R media, but that is a write once media.

All in all, a DVD recorder is better than a VCR.
