jackMy hard drive is big enough for all my data at the moment. I mainly want to record TV onto something more portable than videotapes, though creating backups of existing DVDs would be good. And how come I don't know this stuff? :) Should I:
(a) Get a "DVD recorder" that just does VCR stuff? And if so, which? Lite-on? Pros: hopefully simple. Cons: £150. Less versatile.
(b) Get an external DVD writer for my laptop. My laptop should be able to do the thinking/planning part of a VCR, but I don't know if that's at all practical.
(c) Get a VCR and a separate external DVD writer. ???
What does everyone else do?
