RE: LG RH4820 dvd recorder with hardisk
When you do `rip it open`, you will find that it is a standard hard disk. However, what isn`t standard is the formatting used on the disk. It isn`t any of the standard formats used, so simply shoving a 200GB drive in won`t work. I have been watching several forums waiting for the same question to be answered before I opt for a HDD recorder.
RE: Ever met anyone famous?
The only famous person I have met and shook hands with is the Sultan of Brunei (full title - His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu`izzaddin Waddaulah). This was 11 years ago when he was the wealthiest man in the world. And to top it all, it was in his main palace (Istana Nural Iman), the largest residential palace in the world.

Thanks. I did some Googling after my posting and came across a schematic for the SCART lead. Now its just a matter of pulling the pin!
RE: Macro Scart defeat leads
Just got one from Sonel last week. My problem was that there wasn`t enough power through the SCART lead to power it, so I then had to go and source a 12V PSU. Once that was sorted, it works a treat. Now all I need to do is find the time to transfer my old video collection.
RE: advice on setup of dvd recorder goodmans xpro
I too purchased one of these a few weeks ago. Since then I have had it connected to a portable whilst I copy my old VHS collection. Having seen your post, I decided to try connecting it to my main TV and found the same problem regarding the interference. What I plan on doing is to buy an aerial splitter and then have one feed straight to the TV, and the other feed fed through the video and DVD recorder, with the recorder connected via scart to the TV.
The one thing I find annoying is that when the recorder powers on to record a programme, the TV switches to the SCART signal. Are you aware of any way of preventing this from happening either from the TV or recorder end.
On a separate issue, have you used the video+ mode to set a recording? I tried it but find having to enter the channel number after entering the video+ number annoying. I also noticed that having set the default recording mode to LP, it only seems to work when doing an instant recording. When setting a timed programme it reverts to HQ. Have you observed this?
Goodmans GDVD300R - Video Plus query and Default Recording Quality
Having finally decided to buy the Goodmans 300R that I posted in the Bargain Bucket section a while back, I have a few questions which I hope someone can help me with. I will start with the easiest.
1. I went through the various settings and set the default recording quality to LP. Now, I would assume that all recordings would use this default setting unless I specifically change it. However, whenever I program the timer, it defaults to the HQ setting. Is there a way around this?
2. The next question is to do with the video+ mode. If I program my video using video+, I just enter the relevant code and it works out the date, time and channel. However, with the Goodmans, after entering the video+ number, you then have to enter the channel number as well. Same question as above. Is there a way around this?
3. Now the tricky one. Am using the recorder to transfer lots of old video stuff to disk, but want to edit it on the PC to create a nice menu, and then write to DVD-R. On one DVD+RW disk I recorded a 2 hour session and a 1 hour session, and on another disk I recorded 3 one hour sessions, all of which create the exact same file structure (VTS_01_1 to VTS_01_5 and VTS_02_1 to VTS_02_5). When I try to import either of the _4 or _5 files into DVDlab, the timecodes are screwed up and the _5 file hangs DVDlab (although it works on my work PC!). Any suggestions as to what could be happening.
Goodmans GDVD300R @ £99.99+VAT at Makro
Seen this on someones Makro Mail. Their sale starts today. I`m planning on going there straight after work, but they will probably have all gone by then, if they have any at all (another bad reason for living in Northern Ireland).
BTW The multi region hack for it is available here on this site as well.
