I'm trying to make up my mind between the DMR-E80H and the Pioneer DVR-510HS and downloaded the operating manuals to review them. I'm not excited about recording to DVD-RAM, so I'm leaning toward the 510HS.
In reading the operating manual for the E80H, I came across this line on Page 10 re: DVD-R recording:
"The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video signal input."
I hope this doesn't mean what it says, i.e. that all 16:9 video sources are encoded at a 4:3 aspect ratio if recorded to DVD-R. Can any E80H owners confirm this?
If this is true, what does the recorded video look like on a widescreen display? Squashed?
