I was wondering if I could get an opinion of my DVD recorders to determine which would produce the best quality dvd's. I am currently using the Wallmart Magnavox HDD/DVD recorder, but recently realized that I still have my Panasonic DMR-ES25.
I am on a quest to finally archive in good enough quality that I am willing to dispose of some of my VHS tapes, so unlike the gazillion times I have stopped/started this project, this would really be the last time once my originals are gone.
Is there a preference in archiving between the two machines? I'm not sure if by saving the VHS tapes to the harddrive and then making dubs I"m actually saving any time in my workflow, especially considering how crude the editing capabilities of this machine actually are. My goal here is to have the best DVD copies of my VHS as possible.
I'm on again/off again with the idea of saving DV files, but if I could get the best archival workflow for my tape collection that is likely well over 1,000 tapes, that would help me actually move forward in this project. The amount of times I have started & stopped out of frustration are countless.
