Yeah the DVD recorder would be better if you can find one quite cheap. Also you sometimes get built in freeview with some DVD recorders so altogether a DVD recorder would be a better purchase. Try and find one with divx then you can download films from the internet, burn them to DVD then watch them on your main TV.

How much time have you got so that I can give you all the technical details?
DVD player: can only play DVDs.
DVD recorder can record onto DVDs & also play DVDs.

well, both can play dvd’s jst the same. a normal DVD player will jst play dvds, cds an such. A dvd recorder can do the same as a normal DVD player but also copy dvds for u,,u can watch something on TV an record it to the dvd so u can view it later. The better choice is a dvd recorder as it has more options with it and if u ever need to record something u can do so. If u dunt record much off tv den a VCR wud be fine thats if u have one..if not den maby the recorder is a better option for you. Price wise i think there iz big difference buh im sure it has dropped or soon while because of the new exciting blue ray which has come out.

A player will only play back a DVD. A recorder should record AND play back. I’ve never heard of and suspect that there isn’t a machine which will ONLY record – what would be the point? How could you check it had recorded properly if you couldn’t play it back?
