7/25/2023 0 Comments Pioner dvr![]() ![]() ![]() Once the chapter markers are set, Pioneer's system makes it easy to delete each chapter containing commercials. Even when advancing in half-second increments, you can still usually manage to place a chapter marker in the short fade-to-black interval between a program and a commercial segment. 5-second precision will seem incredibly sloppy to anybody used to computer-based video editing, it removes the frustration of unpredictable starts and stops to your chapters and won't keep you from cleanly removing commercials. 5 second of where you want them.Īlthough. Any chapter markers you place stay exactly where you put them, but - here's the rub - the markers can be set to within only. Video-mode edits, on the other hand, don't move when you copy them to DVD, even using the Pioneer's high-speed dubbing function (which can fill a DVD in only 8 minutes). This has long been a characteristic of DVD dubbing and can result in discs that retain snippets of commercials or that lop off short parts of the program. When you're trying to make a keeper DVD-R in video mode (the most universally playable format), so-called "frame-accurate" edits may slightly shift position on the DVD. The big improvement here is that the deck asks you right off whether you want "frame-accurate" edits or "video-mode" edits when you go to edit a hard-drive recording. That's something I never thought I'd say about a standalone DVD recorder. Removing commercials from hard-drive recordings before dubbing them to "keeper" discs - probably the most common editing task - is even easier on the DVR-633 than on a computer-based editing system. The DVR-633 offers the best combination of editing accuracy and ease of use I've encountered in a DVD recorder. RECORDING & EDITING While recording functions remain pretty much the same with every DVD recorder (only the timer-programming method varies), every time I review a new Pioneer DVD recorder the editing system has changed - for the better. But it does give the deck powerful editing and dubbing functions that can't be matched either by the TiVo/DVD recorder combos we've seen or by any standalone DVD recorder. The hard drive here does not fully act like a TiVo DVR - it doesn't continuously record whatever you're watching so that, for example, you can pause or replay live TV. A great combination of recording versatility, editing precision, and ease of use make this Pioneer a winner. ![]()
