Polaroid DRM-2001G DVD Recorder
That has been a lot of interest lately on the AV forums regarding the Polaroid DRM-2001G DVD Recorder. It is a hard drive based recorder that has a typical list of features such as a 80G hard drive, front DV jack and front and rear A/V inputs.
In addition this unit has something called YesDVD. YesdDVD promises to automagically create a final DVD that includes:
- Automated Intelligent Chapters
- Music Video Highlights
- Custom DVD Case Coversheet
- LSI chipset
I am hoping the automatic chapter creation can detect scene changes on an analog source.
There are three things that really makes this unit look like a winner.
First of all the recording quality seems to be getting a thumbs up. Secondly it is a piece of cake to upgrade the 80G hard drive to a larger drive.
The best part ? How does a price of $219 sound ?
So far these units are only available at Walmart. I plan to buy one very shortly and I will post a detailed review.
I can’t wait to see how heavily the price will be discounted during the holiday season.

Thank you for this info. I was able to link to the info about YESDVD and this is helping me make a decision about a DVD Recorder. I am hoping to transver mini DV to DVD but want to edit and don’t have a lot of $. Thank you!

I saw them at my local Walmart two weeks ago. I haven’t looked since then.
