>> Can you tell me what would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a hard drive unit over a VCR? The reason I went with the 950 over the Personal Animation Recorder (PAR) was my understanding that the PAR used JPEG compression and that I might lose some quality in my playback. I still have not seen a device that will play back full screen 24bit uncompressed frames at 30 frames a second. If one exists, I bet I can not afford it. Tape is still the best media (Price/Performance) I could find. The PAR looks like a great tool and I came very close to getting it over the 950. Digital editing allows for a great deal of flexability. I do digital editing of video on the PC for multi-media applications and the digital format can not be beat in an editing enviornment.
