First,I want to thank everybody for their help on my last post. Have found out some information on new recorders and hope it helps someone else. I bought the 455 Sony recorder and could not record most newer movies as they were blocked (am using C band) Reading the manual it said that on using DVD-RW set to VR Format you could make one recording of encripted movies. They were right,as I can record all that I have tried to record. (thats the only set up that works) Although this works,have sent off for a Video Enhancer or Stabilizer just in the future things change and the color in my recordings need stablizing.
