Welcome to the Digital Recorder! This site is here to provide information on a number of issues related to Digital Recording which are not easily found elsewhere. The site is intended as an occasional reference and is therefore only infrequently updated as information contained in the Guides/Articles changes. You can access the site using the links on the left.
PC Guides
'DVD-RAM to DVD-R Conversion' provides a step by step guide on how to convert recordings made on a DVD-RAM Recorder into a disc that will playback on virtually any DVD player. The Guide is aimed at all users, however new they may be to Video Editing, and is also applicable for those with DVD-RW recordings in VR mode. Meanwhile 'Making DVDR Backups' provides a full and frank discussion about the expected lifespan of DVDR media and how you can create backups of your discs on your PC.
Buying Advice
'Which DVD Recorder?' is a complete discussion of all the issues pertinent to buying a set-top DVD recorder. This article has proven invaluable to many readers in guiding them through the minefield of purchasing a VCR replacement. Don't buy without reading it!

A collection of articles covering subjects not easily found elsewhere. 'Using Flexible Record' is an introduction on how to get the best possible picture quality for your recordings when using a DVD recorder equipped with Flexible Record. 'Setting Up Your Equipment' is an introduction to the various connection methods with which you connect your TV, Digibox, DVD recorder and other equipment.

Downloads
A variety of links/files that are likely to be of interest to viewers of this site. Includes DVD-RAM drivers, manuals and downloadable guides.
Forums
This site is an occasional reference site and therefore does not have it's own forum. I highly recommend AV Forums (the official forum of Home Cinema Choice magazine and the best UK audio visual forum) as a good place to discuss the contents of these Guides and to ask for any support you may require. Alternatively the Digital Video Forum is an excellent resource with sub-forums for discussing all types of Digital Video Editing.
