this thread has been closed

:D sorry guys, couldn`t resist, instead of continuing the "debate" through almost every dvd recorder thread on here why not have you`re own space, & if anyone else wants to join the debate then they are of course welcome ;)

i`ve posted this in the hardware forum as it`s relevant to the "debate" ;)

So, Panasonic or Pioneer? I`ve got a big wad of cash here, and am going to buy one or the other.....

Hey-up

I thought this topic was reserved for a one to one dual between phelings and Paull !

So did i, but there`s nowt wrong with adding fuel to the fire;

Gladiators....Commence!!!!!

I thought I`d join in as well.

Why argue so much. The new Panasonic`s have added -RW Video Recording & Pioneer have added -RAM Playback. Both machines now play all formats (Hopefully Toshiba etc will follow).

For machines with HDD most people will edit / chasing playback on the HDD of either machine then save to -RW Video mode to play back in most Players / Recorders.

Formats only seem to problem on Non-HDD machines where you can`t have it all:

-RW Video - Can erase and rename but can`t edit adverts or Chasing playback.

+RW - Can erase / rename / hide adverts but can`t do chasing playback.

-RW VR Mode - Can do most of the tricks of RAM and when its finalised can be played in most DVD-Rom drives with the right software (PowerDVD etc) but can`t be played in most DVD Players (unless they say VR compatible).

-RAM - Lasts the longest and has the best editing but can only be played in RAM compatible Recorders / RAM PC writers or some Panasonic DVD Players.

I personally think that because +RW can hide the adverts (and still remain compatible with DVD Players) it is superior to -RW Video mode where you have to leave the adverts in (unless you have edited them out on a HDD before putting them to Disc).

I also think that -RW VR mode is superior to -RAM beacuse when finalized they will play in ordinary DVD-Rom or +RW or -RW drives in PC`s. (I can play my finalize -RW VR disc`s on both my PC`s. One has a cheap DVD-Rom the other is a old NEC ND1000 +RW and both have PowerDVD installed to view the recordings).

I agree with what you say.But as I have already recommended the new Panny to many people noone can say I am anti Panny anymore as they have listened to their problems and corrected them-unlike Paull .
My gripe with Paull is not(and has not been for a while)-RW v RAM,it is about his waffling on with comparisons of formats in which he has no idea.
As his recent posts and threads have shown,he has rundown -RW while at the same time admitting that he has no idea what -RW can do,
Is that not just plain stupid?Especially when you have been reminded a number of times that -RW(in its 2 guises) can do all that RAM can.
I was hoping that once the ES10 arrived it would end the RAM v -RW argument by making it largely null and void, but Paull prolongs the argument by spouting inaccuracies constantly.
Love this thread title though

Paull ,thanks for that.
Yet another well thought out and reasoned argument.But better than most of your posts anyway.However,just as inaccurate.
