Is there a DVD recorder with VCR that has decent quality (not pixelated) when recording on LP or EP mode?

Question

Had a Panasonic that broke down after 1.5 years, so looking to replace it. Looking for a DVD recorder that records in good quality at longer time rates. Tried a Samsung, but has a very poor, pixelated quality when recording something over 2 hours in length.

Answer 1

Most DVD recorders are not going to be clear beyond 2 hours because of the need to compress the data to fit on the disc.  That's not a player feature, that's a DVD format feature.
