The best of the lot ...

I looked far and wide; did research; tried this and others.
I finally bought this item over a year ago.
I have made hundreds of DVDs of videos that I have shot myself.
This machine makes DVDs that can be seen on most all DVD players manufactured after April 2000. I shoot dance recitals, weddings, parties, and just plain family events using a video camera that records on Mini-DV tapes. Then, I play the tapes on either the camera or a JVC SR-VS20U using a firewire/DV cable into the PRV 9000. The results are spectacular and profitable. Avoid the other formats unless you want to be the only person to play your finalized DVDs. Until a faster, multiple disk recordable machine comes out; this is the one to have. The best part is the input signal is NTSC! That means you can use it just like a standard video recorder using almost any signal instead of converting from an AVI file to Mpeg 2 before putting the file on the DVD disks. BTW; the media has dropped dramatically in price to almost [money] a disk for 2 hour DVD-R blank. I have been using Mitsui disks but have begun to use Maxell with good results. Good luck.

The Pioneer PRV-9000 Pro DVD-Video Recorder is a standalone desktop unit that can make DVD-Video discs with the press of a single button, and in real time. Anyone familiar with the operation of a VCR can easily operate the PRV-9000, making the creation of compatible DVD-Video discs as quick and easy as recording a videotape.Recordings are made using either write-once DVD-R or re-recordable DVD-RW discs that are compatible with most DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives. In DVD-Video mode, maximum program capacity is either one hour or two hours per disc, and up to 99 separate video segments ("titles") can be recorded. The PRV-9000 Pro DVD-Video Recorder can automatically generate a DVD title menu that can be used to access any recorded title on a DVD-R compatible DVD-Video player similar to how movie titles are used. Analog and digital A/V inputs allow easy connection to both legacy and current video sources, and outputs include component, Y/C and composite video signals. The unit can also play DVD-Video discs on read-only, DVD-R, and DVD-RW media, as well as CD Audio and VideoCD discs on read-only, CD-R and CD-RW media.
