Hi,

No they havn't settled on a standard format but its not so bad as the old
VHS/BETA/V2000 days as most recorders will do more than one format and of
course the discs are the same size unlike the old days of tape!

Multi format recorders seem to be the future.

Sony are into DVD+R, DVD-R (write once) and DVD-RW & DVD+RW (rewrite) but
not DVD-RAM which is Panasonic's baby! For day to day recording an HD
model
is the best option, then you can dump anything you wan't to a DVD disc.
