Hi
New to this DVDR lark - so decided on budget rather than fancy. Plumped for the Yamada 8000, at £149 at Richer Sounds.
Setup OK, using the S-Video out from SKY+ box to SVideo in on the Yamada. Picture is not as good as the RGB on the TV (slightly over bright, and there`s some bleeding on text to background - but not as bad as a composite picture)
To troubleshoot, I connected the S-Video to the TV - and the picture is fine, so it`s not an cable or Sky+ issue. Does the Yamada try to step the S-Video signal up to RGB and do it badly, or do I have a duff machine?
So, despite that I tried my first recording - and it looks OK. I thought that with DVD+RW, you can edit, by marking adverts with chapter markers. and then hiding the chapters - despite doing this, saving it, and then making it "compatible" the hidden chapters still play!
Any picture answers ? Any ideas where I`m going wrong re the chapteres ?
Cheers En_Croute
