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.

Nope, you are wrong. At least with Panasonic DVD recorders you can use
a DVD-RAM disc. With a DVD-RAM you edit your movie, or show, *after the
recording is made*, and you can cut any commercial or portion of the
show. And if the DVD recorder has a internal harddisk, you record the
show to the harddisk, edit it there, and then you produce the final DVD
recording after all the editing is done, without loosing any quaility.

No VCR can do that. If you don´t pause the recording live, you can´t
edit the show unless you produce a second generation copy, which will
be loosy, as it usually happens when one tries to copy anythin from an
analog format to another analog format.

I would expect that other brands of DVD recorders are able to use the
DVD-RAM discs because they are very convenient for TV show recording.
