Relatively inexpensive; performs basic DVD recordings without a problem; upscales DVD to 1080p; supports most recordable DVD formats, including dual-layer discs.

Mediocre recording quality below the XP level; upscaling performance could be better; no flexible recording feature; does not support DVD-RAM discs; does not include a USB port or SDHC card slot; lack of IR blaster makes it annoying to schedule...

The Toshiba D-R410 handles basic DVD-recorder functions at a budget price, but you can get better features and performance from Panasonic's DMR-EA18K, if you're willing to spend a little more.

This is the first DVD recorder that I have owned. So, I do not have a comparison with any other.

On replay, you are unable to find the place by the time function. Only the chapters are marked.

Solid quality, very small footprint.

Why would an average person want a VDV recorder with no tuner?

Very easy to use, good manual, and great feature set. I use it to record programs off of my TiVo. It beats LAN transfer, mastering, and burning hands down - and it takes only a real-time hour instead of two-three hours for each show. Upconversion looks...

As noted by another reviewer, it is a little slow to load DVDs. Other than that, it is a great deal.

Dvd Player Syncs up Perfectly with The Toshiba TV.
