I have just compared these 2 recorders and I`m going for the DVDR 77 as its got Progressive Scan for a more stable & sharper image(as I understand it) and also its got a PCMCIA card slot on the front for PC-Card digital camera card readers to transfer digital pictures on to a DVD.(limited I know but I have one for my laptop pc.).
They both have component video outputs as well.

This is the manual for the DVDR77
