Another vote for Panasonic recorders and DVD-RAM use here. I record a bit from TV onto DVD-RAM, trim out the adverts, then put the disc into my PC (LG recorders read/write DVD-RAM as well as every other format, £20-25) and copy to DVD-R for archiving. We bought the recorder when built in hard drives weren't practical but it's the same as the £119 (which can additionally record to -RW discs) model you can buy now (but £40 extra will get you an internal Freeview decoder or £100 more a hard drive) and would like a hard drive recorder but having recently invested in a big LCD TV, it'll have to wait. It's not very often that you see three people agreeing on DVD formats or brands of recorder. DVD-RAM is not likely to win the format war but I think it is the best so while everyone is agreeing I'll stick my oar in and say I've used Panasonic single sided RAM discs and Datawrite Titanium -Rs and never had a problem, and have used probably 200 for TV recordings and PC data backups without a single failiure. I use the TMPGEnc software (all three programs, for authoring DVDs, re-encoding video when required, and editing MPEGs) which a lot of people seem to use though there are probably better MPEG editing programs if you want to do much more than deleting adverts but the convertor and authoror seem great.

Rob, LER's DVD has a couple of other races on it as well - here's a copy of the back of the DVD case

Stoxnet is not a trading post for pirated copies of copyrighted computer games. If you want to play BriSCA Heat and need to get your own copy of NASCAR Heat, buy one - don't ask for a copy on this website. A quick two minute search on Amazon.com and eBay.com shows genuine CDs of the PC version of the NASCAR Heat game from about £7.00 delivered. If you'd prefer an illegal copy, please click here.

Yep, send me your address and I'll post it today.

I have a stick of 512MB laptop memory, proper Crucial CT6464X335 stuff, but I went and ordered the wrong part and will send it to anyone it would be useful to - please use it and don't sell it on eBay. It is 512MB on an SO DIMM, 512MB of DDR PC2700 lovleyness. Look it up on the Crucial UK website. It's proper Crucial memory, I swear by it - it'll work for sure, the only thing wrong with it is me - I bought the wrong kind. Use the Crucial website to check it's the right stuff for your laptop. It's good for a Samsung X15+, Toshiba Satellite A60 Pro, Satellite A40, Satellite L10, Evesham Voyager 3000, Mitac 8355, and HP/Compaq NX9010 among dozens and dozens of others. All I ask is for you to cover the postage costs.
