Hi All
Still thinking about getting an E30. I want to do the following things with it, so comments welcomed.
- I have a 10 year old library of damned heavy videos I want to dupe across. Most are 3hr. tapes. Is the 3hr mode OK for this on the E30? Since they are VHS and most in mono then they don't need to be presitine.
- To get the best VHS to DVD-R - what is a recommended set up? I had bought my mum out in Canada a new VHS deck and it had some great signal processing/clean up circuitry so I figure I should get a newer VHS deck with that built in unless the E30 does it automatically?
- I have friends who are film makers and to be able to dupe their mastered DVDs off would be a great help. Can this be done?
- Is there a preset speed to record on the E30 to make it compatible with more DVD players? Ie it only works in 2hr moder etc.
- Any idea if a DVD-R will work on the Mico 890a? Willing to post someone a cheque for a test disk to two. My local Panasonic shop is useless.
- Is anyone one using the E30 as a quick way to digitise and prep footage for further editing on a computer? I figure this would make life easier in several respects.
- If the E30 is de-region coded - will it allow you to record in NTSC etc? or is it purely playback?
- I noticed people talking about recording from Sky box. Has anyone tried it with the digital tv service?
That's it for now - thanks in advance.
