of all those the JVC DR-M100 is best

Yes, the JVC units are best. And of those, the DR-M100 is best.
Note that I have a DR-M10, as well as a DR-M100. Both are excellent units. The 100 is a just a wee bit better on the encoding/ But know that I'm really nitpicking it. Most would never notice what I see. |
I am not even sure that in Canada that DR-M100 an DR-M10 have been sold.
So far I only found DR-M70 for 10$ and JVC DR-MX1 for 80$ in classifieds ads. According do this thread date about DR-M70 (and featuring guess who? :congrats:) may have the precious LSI chipset. Thanks |
the dr-mx1 is the same as a dr-m10 just with an added Hard drive and a shitty VHS player.
use it ONLY for the DVD recorder function. and beware that model is notorious for the dreaded "loading" error the M70 is a newer model and i dont believe it has FR mode |
Actually I am trying to collect information because I am now :smack::D in charge of the informatic in our small business. We had a ex-collegue that was doing capture with a DMR-ES36V. The new collegue that took charge of this project (basically capturing not soo important stuff, I mean nothing close to a weeding:wink2:) was complaining about the fact that he can just record 1 hr with the dvd. Then I discovered that he though that he need to put the quality at max to get the better capture.
I mean probably not, it may depend of the VHS quality tape? It bring me some questions. Does the MPEG-2 recording format is 720x480 and if yes does it mean that I need at least 8 Mpbs to be sure to lose nothing? Quote:
FR mode? It allows you to chose different Mpbs during the process? I mean it's not like multi-pass vbr encoding where the amount of Mpbs needed is determined by the machine to avoid space waste!? From JVC manual DR-MX1S I can see that XP ==> 10 Mbps ==> 1 hr SP ==> 5 Mbps ==> 2 hr LP ==> 2.5 Mpbs ==> 4 hr EP ==> 1.6 Mpbs ==> 6 hr Panasonic manual don't give the Birate but times are the same, I can assume that the birate is the same. Thanks |
FR mode is VBR - the FR155 mode works very well with VHS

In real life FR155 give how much recording time? |
FR155 gives 2hours 35 minutes per 4.7gb DVD - it is VBR and 352x480
|
Do you have access to that DMR-ES36V? I'm curious whether it straightens wiggling VHS lines like the earlier models.

XP is not ~10MBps --- that exceeds the DVD spec, by the time you add audio.
It's ~8.5Mbps at most. Probably more like ~8.0Mbps Going from memory, FR155 is around ~4.2Mb/s -- ie, slightly superbit for 352x480/576 FR180 is ~3.5Mbps Somewhere in my old posts -- like 2006, probably -- are the more exact measurement. Myself and markatisu use to discuss them. Search this forum for them. I know I've copied pasted them before. I'd start by searching for "FR1155" and "FR180" and seeing what comes back on those. Use both the site search (power by Google) and the advanced forum search. |
