Samsung DVD-VR330 DVD RecorderSamsung’s DVD-VR330 provides the best of both worlds, with the ability to record home movies and TV programming to a wide variety of DVD discs while enabling you to continue playing your vast VHS library. Additionally, the 4-head VCR offers a full complement of standard recording and playback options as well as the ability to easily convert VHS tapes to DVD. A front-panel DV (FireWire IEEE 1394) input enables you to connect the family video camcorder and edit and record footage directly to a DVD disc–all via a single cable and without losing image quality. The EVQ (Enhanced Video Quality) feature provides sharper images and truer color reproduction for both movies and home videos. EVQ reduces pixel noise produced during digital signal processing, mitigates the cross color phenomenon occasionally produced by separation of Y & C signal.
It offers a full menu of DVD recording options, including DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW as well as DVD-RAM discs–a very flexible format that allows you to re-record on the disc up to several thousand times. Additionally, it offers recording compatibility with DVD-/+R discs–enabling you to store up to 8.5 GB of video on these two-sided discs.
You can program recording via the timer, or choose easy one-touch recording (initiating playback at 30 minutes and adding 30 minutes with each additional press of the button, up to the available disc time or 240 minutes, whichever is sooner). Chapters are created when you record your favorite TV show or video clips from a camcorder onto a DVD disc. The chapters are automatically created, which eliminates wasted time searching the whole DVD to find the right spot. Up to 99 titles can be recorded onto one disc. With the simple and easy edit function menu, you can delete, copy, rename, and lock, among other things. You can also create a playlist and edit video in a specific sequence.
It offers the following connection options:
- Composite video: 1 out
- S-Video: 1 out
- Component video: 1 out
- Firewire: 1 in
- RF: 1 in, 1 out
- Analog audio: 2 in, 2 out
- Coaxial digital audio: 1 out
- Optical digital audio: 1 out
Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

This is my third DVD recorder. It is the best of all. The on screen programming was a little hard to get use to. All in all, a great value.

When I bought this item, it was on sale, which was one of the major reasons I bought it. It was really being sold at a great discount, but with all that it was not worth keeping. I was very glad to return this item, and I returned it. One observation was in copying scenes. The product freezes and that’s what gets recorded, frozen image that lasts about five seconds on your recording. This was a major reason for the return. I also did not like the design of the item, it wasn’t the latest design on the market.

I withdraw my 5 star review. This has proven to be a piece of cr*p. After working properly about 8 months, it has stopped synchronizing picture and sound so that every disk recorded looks like a badly dubbed foreign movie. Samsung tech support is polite but paying $100 or more to repair a $250 item is not a realistic option.
