Back when I was using a lot of DVD disks, I found that Verbatim ones were the best quality. Currently I use very few disks.

Nice find. Looks like a nicely made machine. Glad you are "happy now".

Hi Dave, great video, I quit getting used stuff at our local thrift stores because they are pricing most of their items for very high prices! Anyways, as always, have a great day, hopefully your not having a heat wave in your area!

Another heat wave starts today. I look in thrift stores but things have to be really cheap before I am interested.

I didn't really know about DVD Ram disks. Especially having their own cartridges. Cool.

can find good deals once in a while at those places. i bought a couple things from a thrift store like 7 years ago and they're still going strong, use them all the time. paid like $5 for normally $40 new

Dave, you are a sucker for punishment :-D But units like that are rare to find.

I love DVD recorders. I have a Pye Video and a Presidian and they are great.

Nice find!

I found a toshiba vcr and dvd recorder combo for $8.99 at the goodwill

Hi Dave what is DVD ram disc ? Is it better than DVD +-disc?

I never knew that you can unfinalize a disk.

@12voltvids

Dvd-rw and dvd+rw. Not dvd-r or +r. Once they finialized they are read only. You need to finalize rw disks so they play on stand alone players. Not needed to play on recorders.

Interesting it supports DVD-RAM as I erroneously thought it was exclusively a Panasonic thing! The only RAM disc I ever had fail was a 9.4GB double-sided BASF EMTEC. The other side was totally fine though, so not a total loss! 💿

I know these recorders probably all use the same menu types but gosh I'll got an old iLo branded one (walmart) that uses the exact same fonts and pretty much the same graphic layout.

@@starquestman1544 shipping to Canada would be much higher and scumbag eBay sellers, every one i have ever dealt with will not ship USPS to Canada. They say it is cost prohibitive. They all ship either fed ex or UPS. Fed ex charges the receiver an additional 37.50 minimum. You know those shitty Memorex DVD Ram discs that I have showed. I was given a three pack, two of them would not even format out of the box I called Memorex to complain about them and they sent replacements for free. One month later I got a bill from FedEx for $63 because they put a declared value of the retail price on the three pack FedEx charged GST and PST plus 37.50 and broker charges for a product that I initially got for free and was replaced under warranty for free. That was my first experience receiving anything by FedEx from the states and that would have been around 2001

DVD recorders ?... when mine burned out and I tried to buy another , I was told they were banned in the states due to copyright concerns and no longer sold here...that was 10 years ago...but these recorders were alway picky on which disks you could use in them...one disk would work, the next would not ...

never used dvd ram before looks a bit like a mini-disk to.

looks like a nice unit Toshiba makes good dvd recorders

Well in my local charity shops I have picked up: Panasonic SVHS deck with 3D DNR and TBC for £5 (they thought it was a standard VHS) Sony UBP-800 UHD player for £15 (they thought it was a DVD player) Sansui linear tracking programmable turntable for £15 (needed some lube) A Zoom H1 flash based 4 channel audio recorder for £2 And a Sony dual CD recorder for £15 You have to go often, and early.

I think it was worth it, just for the ram reader alone. I usually don't comment, but I watch most of your videos, and I enjoy them.

A Model X can tow up to 5000lbs (2268kg) so a 25ft trailer is no big deal. As for the range that depends on trailer shape and speed, but even assuming he can only do half the rated range that's still 120-150 miles. He probably plans to charge the car at the camp site since most sites have either TT-30 or NEMA 14-50 connections, both of which will charge a car nicely. Also some Tesla Supercharger sites have a pull-in or pull-through pedestal so cars with trailers or large bike racks can charge without unhooking anything.

I bought 3 months ago a Sony amplifier from the trifstore for €35,00. But it has a problem, it shuts off. I know someone that can repair it for me. I hope it's not to expensive.

If your player can't handle scratched disks then time for a new player. They can handle pretty severe scratches. Writing to a scratched disk is another story but playback no problem.

@@12voltvids Hey Dave if it ain't broke don't fix it LOL. In other words if it functions without a firmware update leave it as is. On a side note if BIG IF, it became necessary to do such an update typically the manufacturers website would provide such an update package (you burn a disk from the website that contains this firmware update. I called tech support for a Panasonic DVD machine and the tech walked me through what to do step by step. As it turned out it was sa simple as putting the disc in the machine it recognized it updated the firmware and ejected the disc automatically when it finished I think it even powered itself off too it was a VERY LONG time so the details of the process have faded a bit in my memory LOL. Anyway hope this helps if you ever do need to attempt something like that.

Whoa! ZORAN? I've never seen a Toshiba RD-XS based on anything other than an NEC chipset. I really wonder what the model number of that DVD-RAM drive is. Oh boy.. Oh boy.. looking inside the drive.. can you fix it.. wow. There was a Rumor that DVD-RAM discs weren't always cleaned after manufacture and retained a film from the factory, washing with a mild soap and luke warm water would remove it and they would work just fine. 4X speed drives don't like 16X speed media.

How can you get ripped of from a USED 2ND HAND ITEM More like you got suckered to buy a used item what do you expect from a 2nd hand store someone donated it for a reason

@vintagepc64

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, the reason being the original owner probably didn't need it anymore and wanted to give it a second chance in life instead of in the landfill. If everyone had your attitude then we'd be even more up to our ears in e-waste and trash in today's disposable society. And before you say "recycle it", recycling is a farce in many regions and still very wasteful. There's a reason reduce and reuse come first in the adage.
