Can anyone shed any light on how to choose a DVD recorder? Does it
matter if it will record in only one of the + - formats??? Should he
simply buy Richer Sounds' latest best buy????

Thank you

I have a Panasonic DVD-R that I bought about 18 months ago. It works very
well. It is well worth shelling out for one with a harddisk if at all
possible. Most stuff you can record to that, and then transfer it when you
know you want to keep it.

The only problem I have had is with cheap disks. As long as you buy good
disks (TDK etc) you will be fine.

In reality, I don't think it really makes much difference whether you get
DVD-R or DVD+R.

This is a good place to start:
