If you can live without a built-in hard drive and a FireWire input, the 8000N is a good choice for archiving VHS and recording TV...Best, High, and Good all produced acceptable video with 450 lines of resolution and few motion artifacts, though between the three modes, High and Good introduced more interference and moving lines in highly detailed areas...Good's three-hour option was particularly impressive...
... DMR-E100 DVR and DVD recorder, the RCA DRC800N DVD recorder, and the Toshiba SD-H400 ... RCA's DRC8000N is virtually a drop-in replacement for your VCR. ...
