...Panasonic DMR-E50 and DMR-E60 Priced at $500 and $600, respectively, these recorders offer the best deals for the money. Both record onto DVD-RAMs (which you can erase and rerecord but which can be played back only on DVD-RAM-compatible players) and DVD-Rs (which you can record onto only once but can play back on most DVD players). Thanks to the RAM format, you can start watching a program from the beginning, even if the recording isn't finished. You can also watch a previously recorded show while another recording is in progress. The E60 includes...

The digital format also makes your homemade discs as easy to navigate as prerecorded DVDs: for instance...

...DMR-E20 is a lot more than a muscular version of TiVo, an American TV service that likewise allows commercial-free viewing. It also incorporates some features normally found on computers. A FireWire port links the machine with most digital video cameras and, for simple movie editing, I found it a lot easier than using my PC. And as is true with straight DVD players, searching a disc is a lot less aggravating than searching a tape. One button brings up the menu that allows you to see exactly what's on the disc and from there it's easy...

...that's not the only reason why I wouldn't run out and buy the DMR-E20 just yet. The sticker price of $1,200 is a huge disincentive, not helped by the fact that rewritable discs cost about $25 apiece (single-burn discs go for $12). I'm bringing my trusty VCR out of exile. I hope it will forgive my brief flirtation...
