I would like to buy a DVD recorder, but I don't know squat about them. It's main use will be to transfer all of our family videos which are currently on VHS over to DVD. However, I suppose it will also be used for recording certain TV shows and maybe even copying movies occasionally. Are there certain functions I need to look for? Will your typical DVD recorder record and play music CD's (CD-R's and CD-RW's)? Is there anything else I should be aware of before I buy one?
