Re: SKY+ to DVD

OK, I have a Panasonic HS2 DVD recorder with DV in and must say am WELL
impressed, probably the easiest way to get my home videos onto DVD for
friends etc and the quality from DV is A1 too. It is handy having the built
in hard disk for fine tuning the editing.
I have not noticed the lossy decoding. Except when using long record on
DVD's i.e. 4 hour +, but that is to be expected, but it is better than RGB
>from
But then SKY+'s quality is not that good in the first place, so RGB is
fine.

I have used PC's to edit DV and it is too clumbersome.

Now if I could only stop the SWMBO from turning the Digital camcorder on
it's side .......
