Just bought a panasonic dvd recorder, what dvd disks do i buy?

Question

its a DVD Recorder with 200Gb Hard Disk Drive

[Model No: DMR-EH60]

my friends say just use the harddrive and theres no need for disks. but i figure i might get some anyway.

acording to the instructions it says i should use dvd-ram. some cartridge thing. are these the best? can i just buy normal dvd writeables? are the disks reusable or one off burns?

Answer 1

hard drive will work fine, but if you want to take your recordings with you, thats when you'd need the dvd's to burn onto

dvd ram is re-writable, but supposedly there is a limit to how many times you can burn one cd/dvd.  i've been using the same few cd's for music for years, and i haven't reached the limit yet apparently =P
