Re: Considering 3 DVD recorders....

Thought I'd add some scans if anyone is interested

So far, this machine is a beauty. Easy to set up and use. One beef is the buttons on the remote are a bit of a pain, I believe Imkidd mentioned something smilar in his review of an earlier model Philips.

Scanned and TRT'd on two different machine, hence the different CD Speed versions. This is the second use of a Verbatim 4x DVD+R.

Burning a TYG03 now to see if it'll give me the chipset info in CD Speed

LOL, I have absolutely no idea. The quality setting was SP (default was SPP) if that tells you anything

Re: Considering 3 DVD recorders....

About Quality Mode = Record speed; 30 min. (XP), 1 hour (SP), 3 to 4 hour (LP), more than 4 hours (EP). The names have no standard. As a rule more than 4 hours can have worse PQ than vhs tape.

Re: Considering 3 DVD recorders....

Yeah, these are the modes and times listed in the manual (which is amazingly easy to follow BTW, even for a DVDR n00b like me! Easier than all the VCRs I've come across):

HQ (High Quality) = 1 hour
SP (Standard Play) = 2 hours
SPP (Standard Play Plus) = 2.5 hours
LP (Long Play) = 3 hours
EP (Extended Play) = 4 hours
SLP (Super Long Play) = 6 hours
SEP (Super Extended Play) = 8 hours

Luckily I don't think I'll be recording anything over 2 hours long

Re: Considering 3 DVD recorders....

One more scan, this time of a TYG03 disc

It appears the DVDR 5500 has the MT1858 chipset, which is also used in the LiteOn DH-20A3x PATA series drives. My Philips has a better drive inside than the one I have in my PC LOL!

Nice jitter (by my standards anyway)
