For more reliable recordings, use a Tivo or a DVD recorder with an
internal hard drive. If you record first to the hard drive (Tivo or
DVDR) *then* to a DVD, you can always re-record if the DVD blank is
bad. And, if you're using a DVDR with a hard drive, you can dump to
the DVD at a reasonable speed instead of 1X. Plus, if you choose, you
can edit the content before recording.
