Apologies if this subject has been covered before, but all attempts over the past couple of days to use the 'Search This Forum' option seems to result in a null response (a blank web page and the word "Done" in the browser status bar), so I though I may as well ask the question.
I have a Panny DMR-EH60D recorder which does everything I ask of it, including writing to DVD-RAM discs. This is handy as I quite often record progs for a colleague who has a Tosh recorder which supports the same format (and he reciprocates, as we both travel a short notice in our jobs).
What I'd really like is to replace my very aged Pioneer DVD player, which lives in my bedroom, and at 7 years old is about the size of an 1970's VCR, for something smaller and more modern, preferably cheap-ish (sub £100), and most importantly with DVD-RAM support. While I use the HDD for 99% of recordings, what I'd like is the ability to quickly dub a programme onto a RAM disk so I can watch it on the other player.
Does anyone know of a likely candidate? And given that I have already had quite a hunt around I'd appreciate it if someone could explain why DVD-RAM support is so rare in players?
