Hello,
I presently have 2 VCRs, and record a daily program for watching on the
first one, then
record "chunks" on the 2nd VCR. Chunks are really short (average of 15
seconds), I only
want scenes where the TV-quiz animator is making strange faces, or
voices, etc... that
makes me laugh.
I do it right so far, but sometimes lose quality, especially when I
want to make a back-up
tape of my "chunks" tape. That becomes a copy of a copy of a copy.
How would I do it digitally? I'd like to have a recording, where I
append my funny scenes
each day. It could be on a hard-drive (inside a digital recording,
alternative to VCR).
With a digital recorder, does it record what you see *as soon as* you
press the REC
button? I've only had VCRs so far, and I have to take into account the
time needed for
head loading and tape advancing when I press REC, to make sure new
recording starts
where I want.
I could either record daily programs with a VCR, and digitally record
chunks with a
digital recorder (replacing 2nd VCR), or is it possible to digitally
record daily programs,
and then append the "chunks" file with the same digital unit?
What features should I look for in buying a digital recorder, to
achieve this job the easiest
way possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.
L.
P.S.: Sorry for all questions, but I'm really newbie to digital
recording (but a long-time
VCR user)
