What Happened to the Home DVD Recorder?
I went shopping for a set top DVD recorder for my edit bay and noticed that only Toshiba made one. I couldn’t believe that the DVD was completely dead. I did a little research and found a great article on about.com.
from about.com article:
“The real reason that DVD recorders are scarce in the U.S., and Blu-ray Disc recorders are non-existent, can be squarely laid at the foot of the U.S. movie studios and cable/satellite providers, which place restrictions on video recording that make the continued selling new DVD recorders, let alone providing access to standalone Blu-ray Disc recorders, in the U.S. consumer market an increasingly unprofitable venture.”
I hope the one I have will last……..
