Excellent product December 29, 2008

I bought a Panasonic DMR-EX768 from Amazon a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wouldn't recognise any DVDs so I returned it. As usual Amazon's service was fantastic. I received a full refund (including p & p) within three days of returning the DMR-EX768. Judging by other reviews, I was just unlucky with the machine I received.
As I still wanted a HDD/DVD recorder, I decided to try the DMR-EX98VEB, which I bought from Crampton and Moore. I ordered it on Saturday 13 December 2008, and it was delivered on Wednesday 17 December (my only gripe is that Crampton and Moore emailed me to advise of delivery on 16 December, but it was delivered by TNT who said this was not the case).
The DMR-EX98VEB is a fabulous product. It copies between VHS/HDD/DVD. It accepts all types of recordable DVD. The DMR-EX98VEB also has a SD card slot, a USB port, and a DV In terminal for capturing video from a digital camcorder. There is also a 1 GB memory stick included, through which I can view DivX movies captured from my PC.
Copying between VHS/HDD/DVD could not be simpler. I have copied several VHS tapes to the HDD, edited out the bits I did not want to keep and transferred the recordings to DVD-RW. After finalising the DVD-RWs, I have been able to play the DVDs in my own Toshiba DVD player, the DVD player in an old Alba all-in-one portable TV/DVD player, and my sister's Sony DVD player. (Please note you cannot transfer from pre-recorded VHS tapes or DVDs). Since I have several dozen VHS tapes taking up masses of room, I'm looking forward to freeing up some much needed storage space by transferring pretty much everything to DVD. You can get the contents of one 4 hour VHS tape onto DVD using the LP mode, and the picture quality is good.
The DMR-EX98VEB only has a single Freeview tuner, but as it's hooked up to my HD Ready IDTV and Sky HD box, this is not a problem for me, but might be if you do not have satellite/cable and your TV only accepts analogue signals. The picture quality of pre-recorded DVDs is fantastic. I am very pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone looking for a single piece of kit with which to copy between DVD and VHS and who has around 350.00 to spare.
