Re: A couple of DVD recorder questions

Argos sell a BUSH DVD recorder that has a bulit in VHS that enables you to copy from VHS to DVD and DVD to VHS. (around £200).

We've put all our kiddy films from DVD on to VHS so that my Nephew & Neice cannot damage the master DVD.

Also my Dad had been putting his video collection on to DVD.

I can see it ending up with a very limited range of acceptable media.
I asked this question in PC World.

Some media says it's 8X that will only work on 8X recorders (They I belive check the media)
while others say 1X-16X so this will work on any recorder up to 16X
