Record 24hrs of TV on a single disc
Throw away those video tapes. Pioneer has launched three new
hard disk drive DVD recorders, claiming they are the first to let you record up to 24hrs of TV on a Dual Layer (DL) DVD-R disc. 
Blank DL
DVD-R discs can hold up to 8.5Gb of content, compared to the more common,
single-sided 4.7Gb DVD-R discs. Pioneer’s own MPEG encoder technology promises
3hrs 30mins of full resolution video on single-sided DVD-R and 6hrs on a
dual-layer disc. The three slimline DVD recorders are the DVR-433H, DVR-530H
and DVR-630H with 80Gb, 160Gb, and
250Gb hard drives, respectively. In real terms, that’s up to 227, 445 and 711hrs of video recording – at the lowest resolution though. Prices not yet out
but expect them to range from £350 to £600.
