Personally, I don't really see a VCD recorder as being practical. You can't even record any program beyond 74 or 80 minutes long, and swapping discs takes too much time (you would have to "format" a...

None that I know of. To play AVIs, a decoder/software would be needed. I don't think that any player has that built-in.

Yikes, 15 seconds?!

And I thought mine was bad. Seriously though, I hope there would be less of such 'troublesome' dual-layered DVDs.
