DVD Question	Can't Post

Does anyone have experience with an external DVD recording unit? Any comments on Panasonic DMR-E50 or DMR-HS2? Could these units be used with a Kron or is it better to have the internal DVD unit installed?

They work great. I typically dump a finished program onto the HS2 hard drive from Avio/Kron at XP quality, then split the video into segments, title them and burn out to DVD-R.

Thanks for the info. What is better an internal dvd or an external one? Anyone worked with Panasonic DMR-E50?

The DMR-HS2 only comes in an external model -- stand-alone box about the same size as a DVD player. The DMR-E50 is similar in size, but only has the disc recording device, not the hard drive system. You can probably still do what you want if your budget is tight. But IMO, the HS2 will serve you better over time.
