Hi Ronald,

>out ? Or does anyone know is there is a pal d-vhs
>recorder that has RGB out ?

The Thomson DVH 8090 has RGB out.

Which ports a hardware has, has nothing to do with the media format. It is just a political question. :-(

The first digital consumer recorders had digital out (i.e. the Japanese "brother in law" of your Philips), second generation not (political reasons) and the third generation has again digital out ...

>(14.1 for d-vhs versus 9,7 for a dvd-r)

But just for movies which aren't longer than 60 minutes.

In general, the quality of a DVD-R recording is similar to D-VHS Longplay.

Depends on your needs. ;-)

I.e.: If I go on tour at friday evening, I don't want to think about the VCR storage capacity (or quality). DVD-R recorders are, in my view, nonsense.

They are valuable with a built-in HD recorder (with digital conncetion - ignoring digital copy protection) or maybe with 2 layer media (appropriate recorders are anounced by Thomson).

Unless Blu-ray (or AOD) is available (and gets payable ;-)), any PC with DVD-R makes much more sense (MPEG-4, 2-pass-encoding, ...).
