Simon, which is the best freeview HD / DVD recorder? pref twin tuner.
Had the Humax 9200 recommended (no DVD writer), The Sony I bought because of the name, turned out to be a right Lemon. |

no mate, no longer available took all that off years ago, what you could try is finding a mini dv that has firwire then upgrading the firmware so its bi directional......thats what i did on my sony |

| simonh |
any humax graham, very few of the dvd recorders have 2 tuners, as they expect you to have one in your telly. Just crash edit from humax to dvd recorder thru rgb scart :thumright: All philips avoid like the plague and samsung too (hdd and dvd recorders), tellys are alright tho |

my fathers fine thanks :D |

They are £130 for a basic one. I have been looking for a while for one with AV input and they are all still about £300+, although play.com are selling this model for £200 at the moment. I wanted to get one with AV input to try a bullet cam and get some decent video of our rideouts, especially this years northern. Thanks for the advice Simon. |

Try a pocket hard drive recorder Steve, I got one and tested it at the Southern, pictures are good, but the model I got is too fiddly when your starting the recordings... too many things to do.

tony, my point was joe public sees them in the shops for 130 so wont bid up on ebay, as they dont even know what av input is. theres some dead cheap sd card camcorders now, like £30-40... might be worth using, tape to your helmet!! | ||||

Got the JVC GR-D93 for £113 brand new! Been playing with it today, well pleased.
I thought about the "flash" type recorders as they obviously don't suffer from vibration problems on a bike, but the picture resolution is still fairly low to fit any decent length of video onto an SD card, even the 40GB ones. Good enough for Youtube, but not much else. |

| simonh |
thats a good deal mate.
always let the cam acclimatise before you use it, hot to cold, damp to dry etc. Other wise it'll stop working temp. or worse tape will stick to the drum. |
